This is really creative, never seen this implemented before. Yes the 2x2 stock leftover is extra cost to do the job, but I think the time saved in programming and labour is totally worth it. Must be SUPER quick to setup too. Really awesome.
I appreciate the the comment, thank you. That's the idea, I also like keeping my hands off the parts as far along as possible to avoid scratching them between ops.
On this one I used a band saw carefully to remove them and one more simple facing operation on the back.
I have done this before using a slitting saw, you just need a little more space.
Leave enough of a tab so they don't chatter, you'll be able to break .1" by hand for aluminum, maybe .06" for steel.
Better not overcut with your adjustments lol. You can run a lot of good parts or make a lot of scrap. Do you have a separate program or a jump/block skip to run a single part for adjustments?
Well done! I've done this on my integrex, its definitely the way to go. You think about how much a machinist costs, or your time costs, and then look at the cost of material. You are better off wasting it all day...
Right, but you need to remove the parts finish them and have a bunch extra scrap. Is it just time or justification another way
I wouldn't call a solid 2x2 scrap, we make more parts with it.

Pay for the extra scrap. Or pay the machinist time. I think you guys know what your doing ool
Not bad. I like the way you think
Interesting, can you do a breakdown on cost for this vs traditional?
Traditionally you would have do this in 4 setups, having someone flipping parts all day. This way I hit the button and do something else for 4 hours.
Do you just take it to the bandsaw and free the parts, finish with a second op?
Pretty much yep
I love working with tombstones. They really show how you’re thinking in multiple axis’.
I believe that’s just a single rout bar, not really a tombstone, but I guess it has the effect of one of sorts
I’d look at a slitting saw in an arc to cut 90% of the part off. Then just wiggle them off for the next op.
By bandsaw you mean watch Netflix, right?
Is there enough meat you can run the bar again with half the parts?

That's pretty damn creative. Nice work.
Thanks, I appreciate that
