We're running some blank Star/Magma type dies to replenish our stock and thought it might be interesting to post a video. This uses a tool holder setup with three boring bars, two of which have grooving tools and one is a turning/facing tool. They are bolted firmly to the cross slide and do not need to be changed for the production run. A cutoff tool is mounted in the Aloris QC toolholder. All we have to do is press the RUN button 5 times during the program. The coolant stays on, coming through multiple nozzles, and the collet chuck is air operated, so we can run these all day with no fatigue.
We set up the TL1 lathe to run the second operation at the end of the work day today, so we will backface and drill the center hole in these tomorrow. I will post a video of that later.
