Matsuura Lumex: Hybrid 3D Printer & CNC Machine!

NYC CNC

February 12, 2023



Lumex Avance-25. Additive & Subtrative Machine Tools–The way of the future!
Matsuura not only produces exceptional 5-axis machine tools with automation, the Lumex Avance-25 is a hybrid additive and subtractive machining marvel. If the laser sintering layer detects a bad print layer, the Lumex can detect it and machine that layer away in order to re-print and correct it!
Although Matsuura has offered this technology since 2002, it’s new to the US market. With it’s high process reliability and no manual need to change the head, this technology will continue to be a game changer for the injection mold and hybrid manufacturing world.

Milling Stainless Steel! Success with Tormach PCNC 1100!

NYC CNC

February 5, 2023



I had a job come in for 304 Stainless Steel. No Problem! Or so I thought. Did some research on speeds and feeds, gave it a shot and, well, long story short: I passed on the job.

Having done some research, 304 seems to be a mixed-bag: it CAN be machined but it’s far from a free-machining stainless steel. In fact, most stainless is harder to mill than, say, 1018 or even 4140.

But I know it CAN be machined. So I bought some 303 Stainless. It’s easier to machine than 304 but far from “easy”. Doing some research on speeds and feeds (math and spreadsheet shown in the video and available to download at http://www.nyccnc.com), it cut beautifully!

Watch along as we calculate feeds and speeds, discuss tips and tricks for machining stainless steel, then mill some on the Tormach PCNC CNC Mill!

HSMWorks: Thread Milling Tutorial!

NYC CNC

January 30, 2023



This quick tutorial walks through creating a Form Tool Thread Mill in SolidWorks then using that tool in HSMWorks (Or HSMxpress or Fusion360!) to create a thread milling CAM operation!

In this video, we’re using a 0.495″ OD Thread Mill from LakeShore Carbide to cut 3/4×10 threads in a piece of aluminum on the Tormach PCNC!
