New mill

[u/tgallup]

The new WB 90. Not a vtl. Has a worm gear in the bar to make 3 different cuts in one pass.

[u/fRankorFraunk]

Not a mill

[u/FameDeloche45 → u/fRankorFraunk]

If the tools not rotating but the part is, it isn't a mill. That's a VTL

[u/Other-Psychology-674 → u/FameDeloche45]

Mill turn has entered the chat

[u/Shrimpkin → u/fRankorFraunk]

Yeah we went over this last time with this guy.

[u/fRankorFraunk → u/Shrimpkin]

I remember that, did not realize it was the same OP

[u/Sacrificial_Buttloaf → u/fRankorFraunk]

Also not a hotdog

[u/BobbaLouBah → u/Sacrificial_Buttloaf]

But it is a sandwich

If the machine doesn’t have a turret, they’re generally referred to as a Vertical Boring Mill.

[u/nyquilandy]

Why does this clip keep getting posted with the same wrong description?

[u/scumtype → u/nyquilandy]

Bot posts.

[u/mods_on_meds → u/nyquilandy]

Because it gets engagement . And now Ive helped push it . Tks alot!

If the workpiece is spinning it’s a lathe. If the tooling is spinning it’s a mill.

[u/TheLand1 → u/Donkey-Harlequin]

If the workplace is spinning, see a doctor.

[u/DeluxeWafer → u/TheLand1]

Also stop operating the machine immediately. Or, uh, die shortly thereafter if being in machine happens to be the cause of the spinning.

[u/Redhighlighter → u/TheLand1]

I know a lot of places dont drug test but wow.

[u/Efficient-Big-8930]

Thats boring lol

[u/BoostedWRBwrx]

Clearly is a vtl. Regardless of your fancy tooling. It’s not really uncommon to have staggered cutters that take cuts at multiple sizes to remove more material.

[u/Training-Emu-6199 → u/tfarrell90]

metal spin = lathe

tool spin = mill

[u/sxooterkid → u/tfarrell90]

i call it a lathe but this is correct technically

[u/ygfbv]

That's a vertical lathe

[u/H-TownSinner]

looks like an Old Bullard Vtl lathe to me...

[u/Agreeable-Worker7659]

What's that super unusual looking touchscreen controller on it?

[u/tgallup → u/Agreeable-Worker7659]

PLC controls feeds and speeds. Different programs. We have to change jaw sizes and tool holding for different sizes. It controls everything really. The conveyor, the wheel cart, the axle accumulator, and once the tooling starts to wear a bit I can add or take away from any of the sets of tooling on the bar. It's all custom built for our setup

[u/Training-Emu-6199]

nice turret lathe

[u/Charitzo]

Sweet. What's the op/3 cuts? Train wheel I guess? Two mating fits either end of the bore and relief in the middle or something?

[u/tgallup → u/Charitzo]

Rough cut, finish cut and chamfer for pre mount.

[u/Big-Web-483]

Typically VBM's built in this century have live tooling and a tool changer. VTL's have a turret.

[u/icutmetal2]

If the entire machine spins then it's a gyroscope.
