Why CNC Cycle Time Isn't Only About Machine SpeedA few months ago, I watched two workshops machine nearly the same type of component. The machines looked comparable. Both were modern vertical machining centers. Both had similar spindle speeds. On paJul 24 · 5 min readhandemo.hashnode.dev
Why Surface Finish Changes During CNC MachiningNot every machining problem announces itself with an alarm. Sometimes the first clue is much quieter. A part comes off the machine looking... different. The dimensions are still within tolerance. The Jul 21 · 5 min readhandemo.hashnode.dev
What Affects CNC Spindle Life More Than You ThinkA conversation with a maintenance engineer changed the way I think about CNC spindles. We weren't discussing spindle speed or horsepower. Instead, we were standing beside a machine that had been runniJul 17 · 5 min readhandemo.hashnode.dev
Why Preventive Maintenance Matters for CNC MachinesNot long ago, I was talking with someone responsible for managing several CNC machines in a busy workshop. He said something that sounded almost too simple. "The machines that give us the fewest surprJul 14 · 5 min readhandemo.hashnode.dev
