Wouldn't this be a fun machine to play with?

First Chips On The Giant Cincinnati Milling Machine.


Starts later in the video to get to the good stuff but the beginning is pretty interesting.

Cincinati #3 Milling machine was the 2nd mill I ran as a machinist. NMTB50 taper IIRC. It was originally on a Navy ship in WWII... still had the Navy asset tag on it. It was beefy. I ran an 8" Face Mill on it on several occasions. It slung some chips. LOL

Speaking of big machines..
I toured Varco's facilities in OC about 10 years ago
The have some big Giddings and Lewis (??) horizontal machining cells that run CAT 70 holders.
That was impressive .. Imagine a Ø3" x 12" LOC insert mill mowing through high carbon steel with 3/4" radial engagement
Some thigs just have to be seen to be believed

Yikes!  How do they load the holders in to the machine?

something really sexy about those chips.
or is it just me?

ran one similar back in the early 80's

When I worked there they were using a Crane to load the tools. No I didn't run the machine, but yes it was an impressive machine. The holders by themselves weighed almost 65lbs without anything on them. I did one project where the holder was 110lbs on a CAT 50 HMC. It would not run through the tool changer. I made a mount on the tombstone and would mount it in there. During the job the program would come up and grab the tool cleaning it off with high pressure through the spindle coolant. It was the serration saw for putting the serrations needed for the gripping side of the parts were were making on the machine. They were a Pro-E shop at the time. I was promised Mastercam and after they didn't come through with that and a couple other things I left to program for an Integrex and other equipment in Brea that was using Mastercam.

25+ years ago when I did Turbine work we had 24" Facemills and I would throw chips 40 to 50 feet across the shop. The guys hated it when I ran the machines. Most guys were slow and took 2 days to cut the faces.   I would fire it up and get them done in 3-4 hours.

loL i was already bragging in the youtube comments about big cut in a Haas.

We had a vertical like that and a horizontal about the same size. They were our "square up" machines. It's usually where the apprentices would start out. I've got pics of them somewhere.

Nice machine.
It appears that he just discovered the slow motion feature.

Pet peeve of mine, just about everyone has to use slo-mo or friggin music in their cutting videos.
We want machinist porn dammit!
