This week we walk through design philosophy, CAD, CAM and machining a set of Monster Jaw softjaws to hold shoulder bolts that need trimmed and chamfered.

I previously made a fixture for this job which was poorly designed. It was inefficient to use and was not able to securely, reliably hold the workpieces. Softjaws were the perfect answer!

Using the Tormach PCNC 1100, SolidWorks and SprutCAM made quick work of the job!

Tormach PCNC 1100! Tormach PSG! Emco V13 Lathe! Solidworks! Sprutcam!

A customer had a worn-out aluminum bracket used to drive a crank arm off a motor. Using the Tormach PCNC 1100, the Tormach Personal Surface Grinder and Emco V13 lathe, we made a much stronger replacement bracket include a custom shoulder bolt to accommodate the fact that the bracket could not be expanded on the left hand side due to machine clearance!

A good example of balancing an improved design, pride of workmanship but also getting it done efficiently!

This video is for the Concord Kids – a group of 5th grade students studying STEM! And, of course, it’s for anyone to serve as a basic beginners guide to a manual milling machine (Bridgeport) and a computer controlled CNC Milling machine (Tormach PCNC 1100)!

Curious how we film? http://bit.ly/2q8MfoV

Their teacher, Dan, email saying a video on milling basics would really help the kids understand some of the work they are studying. I love helping kids and would encourage everyone to reach out to any number of local programs – STEM, FIRST Robotics – anything to help increase interest and passion for engineering in our youth!
