Not only did you combat the sag from the weight, but you took into account that the material would move as soon as you broke the 'skin' and released the internal stresses. That was a great example of turning.

It might seem like a lot of setups, but that's the only way to keep it somewhat straight.

@@ChrisMaj Feels like it's that way with a lot of quality/precision tasks; most of the work is in the setup, and it's vital. Like with paintings/coatings; 70% of the work involved is preparing the surface before you even start painting, and most premature coating failures are due to improper surface prep.

With the piece supported by only the centers it is going to sag with the shear weight of the piece . You did a masterful job in keeping it as straight as you did !!!

Have you ever hot-spotted a shaft to get it straight? i know in some materials you cant, but 1045 should handle it fine. I turn 16 foot 10 inch 304 stainless shafts, and after roughing they typically run out .050, so i hotspot it straight, and it will only run out about .001 or .002 when im finished.

I've never done it, but we used to have a guy who was really good at it, so I have seen it how it's done. This is one of those things that you better know what you are doing, or you're gonna make things even worse.

I agree with you there. Such a long workpiece is bound to have locked - up stresses within, and no matter what machining strategy you take, you will always have run out on completion.

I am puzzled still about the setup with the center in the back chuck. It looks like you have it between centers all the time. So, when using the front chuck, the part is over-constrained by definition. It is practically impossible to not bend it when tighening the front chuck jaws, or do you actually bend it on purpose being guided by certain runout numbers? Great content, thanks from Holland.

I'm curious about your tool geometry selection. I would've likely stuck with the 80-degree diamond or trigon throughout. What advantage does the 35-degree diamond provide for the final passes?
@beni_lie.1282
6 ай бұрын
With the V plate, the cutting force is smaller and the tool is pushed away less. In addition, with a lower feed rate and a smaller chip depth, you can break the chip more easily with the V plate than with a C plate because the chip breaker is located further forward. This is my opinion why you should use a V for finishing. I think opinions differ there
