Introduction & Project Overview (0:00-1:19)
0:05-1:20: “Hello. Hello, I’m Chris and I’m Mason. Welcome back to another legacy training video. Uh, today we’re gonna be producing another onboard project. Uh, we have done a, I believe it was a welcome sign for the horizontal table Mason, and you did a great job at that. Um, this time let’s go to a different workstation, the turning center. So if you have the turning center on your machine as one of the modular options, you’ll be able to, um, build this project. And today we are gonna be building a French rolling pin. And so this is, this turned out really, really good for our prototype and so we’re really excited for you to go and make these yourselves. Um, but you’re gonna get all the information you need about the blank sizes, cutters, and about setting up where your X zero needs to be for the machine, um, on the documents on our website. So let me show you where you can go find those. Um, and then we’ll bring ’em back to the machine so that we can go through the rest of the set of process. And Mason, you’ll take over from there on, uh, setting up and, and cutting our part for us. Sound good? Alright. All right. Let’s go show you where those files are. So on legacy woodworking.com here on the CNC training page, we can scroll down past the CNC training bootcamp. And here we’ve already shown where”
Downloading Project Files (1:19-3:36)
1:18-3:36: “And here we’ve already shown where to download the welcome sign. And here we have next project two, the French Rolling Pin. And so you’re watching this video right now and you can download the files right here based on, again, the controller that you have for your machine. If you have a touchscreen delta controller or if you have the original mock three controller, just click on this and that will ask you to again, download the files and it’ll automatically do so. So after we’ve downloaded the file, we can come down here to our file explore icon. We can look under our downloads. And here this is zip, so we need to right click and extract all the files. So we’ll click here to say Yes, extract, it does open up another File explorer window. And again, you, you don’t have to use this one, it just shows that now we have a zipped folder and an unzipped folder. The unzipped folder here is where all the files are gonna be located. So we have, for example, there is our blank size and cutter list, as well as the G code that we need to be loading into the machine. Um, we even have the Cadcam files. So if you wanted to go and modify this and make it your own in any way. So let’s go back to the C NNC machine and we’ll have Mason set up the rest of the procedures to cut this rolling pit. So Mason, let’s have you now set up the system following the checklist, uh, that we use during the two days of operations training. I got those listed right here for you. So we can just run through those real quick as you set up the whole process. And you’re gonna use those two files on that flash drive to make sure we’re setting up everything correctly. All right. Uh, pertaining to that checklist. So let’s have you start from the top and work our way down. Okay. Let’s securely mount the blank into the turning station. So, okay, so we need to know the blank size in order to mount it, right? Okay. Let’s put our flash drive in. Okay, let’s pull up our blank size and cutter list. Right here it says we need an inch and a half by an inch and a half by 23 inches. Yep. And what’s the note there that we need to pay attention to on that blank? All right, it says set X zero one inch from the headstock end of the material. Okay, so we’ll get to that when we actually get, um, go to check our XY zeros, but least we have that information ready.”
Preparing the Machine (3:36-5:02)
3:34-4:14: “but least we have that information ready. And what tools do we need to use in that project? We need an inch and a quarter surfacing bit, an extra deep core box, one inch cutter, a VAV carve 90 degree, uh, by one inch. Perfect. Okay, so we can get those ready as well. Again, we can get to those steps. So we have all the information that we need to set up the machine. Mm-hmm. So here, we’ve already taken the time to prep that blank size, right? Okay. So inch and a half, inch and a half by 23 inches long. Um, so you can now use this to do that first step, which is securing this in the machine. All right, so we’ll need to find the center of this.”
4:18-4:20: “Okay? I’ll go over here.”
4:27-5:02: “Now we have our center. So now I’ll want to take our Dow, punch it in, give it a nice little twirl, okay? Okay. Now we’ll need to move the tail stock out of the way. Okay? Put that securely in there, make sure that,”
Mounting the Blank (5:02-7:07)
4:58-5:09: “securely in there, make sure that, yep, that’s the right end. Okay, that’s sitting flat.”
5:14-5:29: “Okay. The jaws are biting in there. Now we want to take this forward, line it up with our hand, nice little x, tighten it up.”
5:35-7:00: “Okay. Now I’ll give it a nice back and forth. Okay, solid. Well done. So we got our blank mounted. What’s next? All right, next we need to click on the turning workstation screen. Yes. So we can minimize all of these. We can go to our turning station. Alright. Next we need to select and name a work offset. Keeping in mind that we need to be an inch away from the end of the blank. Correct? ’cause the one that you select as what’s the information’s gonna be saved under, right? Mm-hmm. So you get to choose what this is being saved under. Alright, so we have four jaw check plus five. That should be fine for us to overwrite. So now we need to check the MTC tools are ready. All right, let’s find our list of cutters that we will need to find. Okay? In tool number one, we need a inch and a quarter surfacing bed. Okay? So we have our tool one at our inch and a quarter surfacing cutter. We have our tool two, which is our inch core box cutter. And then our tool three, which is a nine degree V cutter. All right? So now we’ve got our, call it, let’s perform our maintenance.”
7:04-7:06: “Okay? Blown out all the dust.”
Tool Preparation (7:07-9:12)
7:08-7:18: “Let’s get some dyna glide on these bad boys is okay. Wipe ’em off with a nice rag.”
7:25-7:41: “Now we’ll need our, call it, this one should fit just fine. Okay. First take this, attach it securely and slide it back on.”
7:45-8:08: “Let’s give it one more just for, there we go. Okay. Surfacing cutter. We can place that in tool number one. Okay, next up we have our core box cutter.”
8:13-9:11: “Okay, got that guy out. Core box cutter done. And that can go in tool number two. Okay. Tool number three, slot that right there. There we go. Perfect. You got tool one, two, and three all ready to rock and roll. So what’s next? Alright, next we need to deactivate the vacuum table. Okay. Which we can see here. Here it’s already off. Perfect. Now we need to check our work offset, which we need to make sure is one inch away from the headstock end. Yep. Okay. From the, from the edge of the material. That’s exactly right.”
Setting Up the Work Offset (9:12-11:01)
9:12-9:26: “Okay. So we’ll go into tool and say I’m here. Flip this guy up and grab our handy dandy edge finder.”
9:33-10:30: “Now one thing that I do wanna ask is before we put this into the, uh, into the clamps, could we have marked out a line from one inch of the of the end? Absolutely. Yeah. There’s obviously anything you want to use as an indicator. Um, and so the laser, you’re able to technically put the laser right on the edge of those jaws. ’cause in this situation the four jaws are encompassing over the end of the material, right? Yeah. By about a half of an inch. Mm-hmm. And so the first half of an inch of the one inch note that you just barely stated is gobbled up. Mm-hmm. So we need to shift the X zero technically a half an inch forward from the edge of those jaws. Mm-hmm. Which will be equivalent to the same as one inch from the edge of the material. Okay. So you could use the jaws in this case as a reference point. Mm-hmm. But your method is just as relevant of creating an actual mark that you can go to. Okay. Alright, Let’s take this.”
10:41-11:01: “Okay, now we can hit 12. Now I’m gonna take it, make sure I’m in the right turning segment. Okay. Take it over here. Okay. And we can see that probably from the last time that this was used. That’s about right. But we’ll check it anyway just to make sure.”
Final Machine Setup (11:01-13:36)
10:59-12:09: “anyway just to make sure. Nice tape measure, say about three quarters of an inch away. So see if I can’t leave this placed in here so I can see, bring the laser right out there Trying to hit the half inch mark. Mm-hmm. Yep. Exactly. ’cause the first half inch of material is in the four jaw chuck. So we need to go forward about a half inch from those jaws. Now another way of doing that is you could actually put the laser over the edge of the jaws. Mm-hmm. And then tell it to move half of an inch out. Mm. Then you could be exact if you want, if you want to be okay. Um, tape measure works just fine. There’s lots of different methods in order to find a reference point in order to get this parameter correct. Okay. Alright. Next on the list check smart tool is on and active. Before we do that, I will take the laser out. Perfect.”
12:14-13:17: “Okay. Now we can check the smart tool. All right. Right there we can see that’s active. Turn off rapid Z and then load our tool path. Alright. And then we can load our program, which should be on our flash drive right there. Okay. Now check the tool numbers and make sure they match the ones that we put in. So you got the 20 inch French rolling pin, then our blank size. And here we have our tools. So you have surface inch and a quarter core box inch nine degree B cutter. Perfect. Alright, next up we just gotta hit play. That’s the exciting part. Yeah. Alright.”
Cutting the French Rolling Pin (13:36-15:13)
14:00-14:10: “Okay, let’s take her out. Okay.”
14:15-15:13: “Looks pretty sweet. Yeah, well done. Okay, so you now have the files to go and create your own rolling pins. All that’s left over for this project is the, the v cutter shows exactly where to cut that section off. So you’re gonna cut off at those cut marks and then sand this. And this is actually ready to start using. Um, a lot of people, um, that do wooden rolling pins will usually put, um, mineral oil directly on here as just a, a single solution after they’ve sanded it. And you usually don’t sand it any finer than normally about 120 grits because you want the flour to stick to this and not just run off or else the dough will stick to it instead. So, um, that’s what I learned from a couple of online sources is 120 grit sand. And then you’re ready to put some min uh, mineral oil in here and it’s ready to start using. So go out there and start making yourself some own your, uh, own rolling pins.”
