At the end of 2020 I wanted to finally get caught up with all my backorders, and part of the solution for doing that was to get both of my CNC mills running and making blades! However to machine a complete blade on a CNC mill you need to make some specialized fixtures. In this video I show the complete process for updating my fixture design and machining a new fixture! Hope you guys enjoy the v...

Restoring a 24 year old CNC machine...
Просмотров 149 тыс.3 года назад
I spent 120 hours restoring a 1996 Fadal VMC15, a compact vertical machining center (CNC) so that I can use it to make my knives! This machine features a full enclosure and a larger tool-changer than my previous machine, so it is a nice addition! The only problem: the machine had been used to machine Graphite for its entire life which meant that clean-up was a huge job! In this video I document...

Fadal VMC-10 CNC Cutting Demo
Просмотров 44 тыс.5 лет назад
I've had a lot of people email me asking whether they should look at buying a Fadal for their own workshops... A common question is whether or not the older Fadals can deal with modern 3D contouring and high speed machining toolpaths. This video shows my Fadal VMC10 ripping up some tool steel using a variety of tools and toolpaths, including adaptive roughing, helical boring, 3D contouring and ...

Fadal CNC Mill (VMC-10) Rebuild - The Saga Continues!
Просмотров 44 тыс.6 лет назад
Earlier this year I did a full rebuild of my 1994 Fadal VMC-10, and I filmed the process! My previous 'rebuild' of this machine was more about replacing worn out bits and pieces and a lot of 'remedial maintenance'. The rebuild was done because I am starting to get into hard-milling, which requires a machine in good condition! To get the machine back into 'factory spec' I rebuilt every axis and ...

Best Fadal working vids I've seen
Hi, I can't help but thank you, I'm starting to make some knives and your information is really valuable.
This helped me tremendously. Thank you so much for explaining F360 usage in this context!
As a certified HAAS tech, this was a beautiful restoration! It's very clear you care about your girls! Great video!
I would love to see how you made your small sanding block!
You are a really skilled maker! I need to get one of your knives these days :) can i ask what that griddle is? Brand? Model?
I didn't know you could sharpen in both directions. Also I didn't know about the burrr. Thanks! How do you get the stuf of the grinding stones?
Do you mind if I ask? I use a similar system with Diamond stones. I found that when I followed the method you showed, I tend to get less toothy edges because by removing all of the previous scratches, the finer stones remove most of the teeth. I use this almost exclusively on kitchen knives, and now I tend to do saw strokes with coarse stone, then alternating push strokes with the same stone (to remove any burr), and then gentle alternating push strokes with a super fine stone, to help clean up the apex. I find that this seems to leave better serrations for a toothier edge that holds up longer against use on foods/cutting board. I find that when I pass through all the higher grit stones for a super clean edge, I just don’t get much bite in the blade after a while as the super microscopic teeth just get worn down. My coarse Diamond stone is about 220mesh and my extra fine is 1200mesh. Thoughts? I’m always open to finding a flaw in my Methods.
This made it so much easier in skef taught and I have a job I have to make 9 knifes in 6 days and jigs for the knives to be made on plus the scales I honestly think I'm not able to do all I was asked for but I warned the client and they are nice people so they realize I'm doing my best
Awesome video thanks
Great video. Easy to follow guide. Thank you.
How do you keep your balls from giggling when filing ? It drives me nuts. Also, what is a mill file ? Is that what he's calling a single cut ?
Filthy? Your machine was shining before you cleaned it compared with the Mitsubishi machine I'm working on 1mm dirt mix on every part of it, never cleaned
So you still run the original controller / software with it and drip feed it? Or did you put another controller into it? I'm in progress of fixing a 20 year old Mitsubishi based CNC, I think about changing them to LinuxCNC as soon as possible.
I trusted him till I saw him jk lol thanks for the advice!
Quality content.
Your videos are so good! I hope you start posting more again soon. Currently working on a button lock folder (first knife) and trying to figure out how much to hard mill and what tool paths work best in Fusion. So much learning still to do and your content is very helpful (as I squint to see your toolpath choices in Fusion :-))!
For the 2 rectangle lengths toggle back and forth using the tab button.

Aaron Gough. The best.
Hi! Tell me in more detail, how do they make this DLC coverage?
Really cool video. Im thinking about trying this. Many thanks my friend..from the middle of the US!
Great bro..hats off for ur hard work
Phenomenal video, thanks!
Man thank you so much for your videos. There are alot of how to videos out there for everything and I have to say your video on what you need and how you do it is a big help (especially for the guys who want to start doing kydex holsters for knifes and guns like myself) I do have one question for you and I would really appreciate it if you would tell me what size kydex you used and where you purchased it (.60, .80 thickness I mean). Thank you for your videos super big help 👍🏼.
Even on 1082 my expensive file didn’t last. It was so dull and I didn’t get a very good fist knife
Man im on my first year of knife sharpening with real interest. (hoping to move on to blacksmithing and metalurgy soon!) But i am so glad i came across your channel while looking into making sheathes! Keep it up bro!
not sure where you got your dlc done because ceracoat is nowhere near dlc dlc is hundreds of times more corrosive resistant than ceracoat
The coating itself is very corrosion resistant yes, however it's also porous to some extent and these blades were not stainless. So it's not the DLC that's corroding, it's the steel underneath.
Looks streaky. Would scotchbrite pads work?
Thank you for such a clear explanation! Subscribed and looking forward to checking out your other videos. :)
It's been 10 years and this video is still one of the most useful. Thank you very much for this content.
Aaron is one of my first knife makers. Imagine having one of his first hand cut knives. I took a number of cues from his process and design.
Impressive video
While running one of the machine shops at JPL in Pasadina, I purchased a FADAL in the 90's and later another. The machinest loved them and made a lot of parts that ended up on Mars and other places. Well done sir.
I find that when I do a full flat grind, when I file the second side, there’s too much flex in the blade for my file to engage with enough pressure. The blade bends and twists because the finished side doesn’t touch the shelf, so I cannot file the opposite side…
very nice tutorial! Thanx
That's awesome 👌
What saw blades have you found work best on G10?
What kind of Cerakote did you use? I heard Cerakote micro slic really good.
Any chance I could get a response so that I can figure out what it is that I’m doing wrong? I’d really appreciate it!
I don't see very beautiful knives till today .I am so happy. Thak you verymuch for showing theese knives .god bless you very much.
I’m going to order this exact knife right now
Do you have video separate on how you cleaned the Dried Oil on the parts? :-)
Thanks for this vid! I learned a lot from it!
Your videos are the best. Your attention to detail and giving exact information is great
Awesome tutorial. It was very clear and comprehensible even for a person like me who started learning Fusion360 2 days ago ))) i'm great fan of blades and finally came to an idea to create my own. Thanks!
Would you say the DLC would perform that well on its own, or did the base layer have an impact? I wish there was a DLC only coated to remove the question.
I separate my layers and sand without out setting the hardware. Then after I clean the inside so there is no debris inside. I then set the hardware.
DUDE! That's incredible. I utterly loved it when it turns out you used your own jig on a shop grinder with custom CBN wheels. And CBN wood strop is the best. I have long decided my dream sharpening supplies would be custom CBN, and that wood strops are the most precise. The level of precision from start to finish on these is outstanding.
