We've got our own little assembly line of Unimog vehicles!
I was able to get the final program proofed, and I'm now slowly running through all the anodized trucks we've got in the shop to get the machine ready for new contracts!
It's been a slow and tedious project, but I've definitely learned a ton from it, and all the little dumb issues I had to go through were a great lesson in perseverance and patience. I'm not going to say the trucks themselves were entirely worth the headache, but at least I got to take my time and try a lot of different machining techniques on them!
I had an odd issue with cutting these windows out where the cutter only seemed to like very specific RPMs to get a decent finish. I played around with different combinations of RPM and chip load, and the only one that gave me a clean and smooth finish was running it at 8k RPMs and 6 tenths per tooth (3 flutes). I'm not entirely sure why this is the case, but it works, so I'll leave it at that for the time being.
