Marvel Machining

Just because I prefer running mills doesn’t mean I’m scared of a turning center, or don’t know how to run one. I do own one, I can program it, set it up and run it just fine.

The lathe gets used when it has to, but if I can put the part in a mill….it’s going in a mill because it’s my preference and you can’t tell me what to do. 😂

4 GREEN LIGHTS TODAY!

EC400 ✅
VF3SS ✅
SL20T ✅
UMC-750 ✅

One question I get asked all the time: How are you powering the machines?

All four are running off a single 30 HP rotary phase converter.

IMTS is right around the corner, goal is to get all this machined and out to finishing, back and shipped out before I head out and close down for a week.

Auctions are a great place to pick up a lot of useful stuff for the shop.

I’ve been slowly adding these pin sets to my collection and managed to pick up five sets for less than the cost of one new set.

I also grabbed an assortment of OSG taps. I use OSG regularly, so I couldn’t pass up 50+ taps for about the price of one. There are a few random sizes mixed in, but you never know when one of those oddball sizes is going to be exactly what you need.

5-axis fun. We’ll see if this plan works out, moving these across three different machines. Unfortunately, they’ll end up in the turning center too. 😅

Still running that round stock in the mills. Should make for a good evening run at about an hour per part.

A whole lot of surfacing with a .0625” ball end mill.

Did you actually think I’d put round stock in a lathe? 🤣

Don’t know what’s going on here but it seems like there’s a little too much round material coming in.

When the saw blade breaks on a Saturday, you take what you can get locally to get through cutting a bar.
