SM-023: CNC Mini-Series Episode 4

Video Info:
This is Episode 4 in a CNC Tutorial Mini-Series where I'll be replicating a DC-Motor CamShaft that was previously professionally milled with my TAIG CNC.

In this episode I explain the mistake I made in Episode 3. I was using my edgefinder (which has a 0.2" diameter) to find my XY zero point based on the pocket we milled in episode 2. However, I was approaching the walls of the pocket from the INSIDE of the part (versus when you normally use an edgefinder, you approach from the OUTSIDE of the part). I'm going to remake the part for Episode 5 and we'll go on from there!

This tutorial is a comprehensive walkthrough - soup to nuts. Future episodes will include CAD, CAM, toolpath creation, Feeds & Speeds, Fixturing, and operating the TAIG mill!
