Wild youtube video of aggressive hole drilling feed rates

[Nathan the Machinist]

Be sure to watch it a 2:04 where they're popping small holes in 3/4" 6150 at 187 IPM. And I about peed my pants at 2:50

Wow, that's nuts. I just saw these earlier, which you might already be aware of.

It's nuts isn't it? They get a clean hole, but when I rapid into a part it's a crash...

 

[Big Chris]

That is some insane feed rates. As an ex Machinist I love watching these kind of videos.

 

[SteelSlaver]

Wow, looks like fast forward but, it wasn't. Takes a good machine as well as the bit to do that.

 

[BenR.T.]

Holy crap that last part is insane!!
My $30 Harbour freight benchtop drill press is gonna go cry in the corner now.

 

[jdm61]

Wow!!!! All three of those are crazy, but you have to see that slow mo video of that rampmill to know that it is actually throwing a stream of chips and not a fountain of molten aluminum.

 

[stevomiller]

Holy Schmokes! It's been about 15 years since I worked for Automation Tooling Systems, my how things have changed!!!!!

i start to pee my pants around 75-80 IPM on my cnc machine. i am going to look into these bits, they look epic. i wonder how much the unit much cost to push the coolant through the bit though. Probably a complicated process.

 

[james terrio]

Fascinating!

 

[sykes3170]

Even with my very limited knowledge of machining that is impressive. Like a hot knife through butter.

 

[PaMtnBkr]

Hey Nathan, Can you explain "feed rates"? Is that how fast you push the bit through the part? Sorry to be ignorant, just not a lot of time around a machine shop. Awesome stuff any way you look at it!

 

[Burton Harruff]

Cool vids.

 

[Robert Dark]

That rampmill is the cat's meow. It would have taken me at least an hour to do that with rat tailed file.

[scott.livesey]

too kewl. where do sign up to get a rig like that? i might be able to fit it in the spare bedroom once i kick my mother-in-law out.

 

[tedinatl]

That is pretty insane - all three video's, but especially at 2:50 in the first. Don't try this at home, kids!

 

[1badcj_7]

Holy crap!!

 

[Fred.Rowe]

Gritting my teeth; I was waiting for that puppy to explode. I am going to the shop to have a talk with my J head Bridgeport; not to tell her she is a slacker but that slow and easy, for her age, is the way to go.

Exciting, Fred

 

[silver_pilate]

I'm gonna try that with my Lowes drill press. Now where can I get one of those ramp mill cutters?
