Our Interview with Andrew Henry at Henry Holsters

6/30/2017

0 Comments

 
A former music teacher, Andrew started Henry Holsters in Indiana in 2008, Henry Holsters are thermoformed plastic holsters that combine careful design work with robust materials and painstaking attention to detail.

They make their holster out of Boltaron 4332 sheet material for all their holsters, as they prefer the workability and feel of Boltaron over Kydex.

Most importantly, they use Destiny Tool end mills to make their top-of-the-line holsters!  Andrew started following us with his instagram account a few years ago and we've been following his progress right back. 

Their shop uses state of the art Brother CNC milling machines and vacuum forming machines to produce holster shells which are then hand finished and assembled.

​We visited Andrew at his shop earlier this month and got to spend some time with this fully self taught machinist and manufacturing innovator. Give Andrew a follow on instagram! He posts some rather nice instructive videos there: @henryholsters

"Diamondback ran for 6 weeks and still feels sharp!"
Picture
Brent Biestel from Byce Tool, introduced his new double station vise at the IMTS 2016 show at the Doosan booth.
​We met Brent at D&L Industrial Supply's Open House this past summer and told him about the Viper's and Diamondbacks. Later we found him on Instagram (@bycetoolworkholding) and it turns then found out out he started using Destiny End Mills to make his new workholding vise!

According to Brent, he's using a 5/8" Diamondback to remove roughly 20 CIM of material every 1/2 hour and the Diamondback has been running for 6 weeks in the cut!!! ...and it's still running.  Brent is also running Viper End Mills to make the aluminum jaws.  

Brent goes on to tell us about his new vise and many new features that's he's come up with. Check out the video below more.

We're planning on visiting Brent to get more video of our tools in the future so stay tuned for more video!

The International Manufacturing Technology Show is one of the largest industrial trade shows in the world, featuring more than 2,000 exhibiting companies and 114,147 registrants. The event is held every two years in September at McCormick Place, Chicago. The 2016 Show runs from September 12 - 17.

Destiny Tool will be in Booth W-2092 which is located in the Tooling and Workholding Pavilion in the West Building of McCormick Place for IMTS 2016.

We've been reposting and sharing both Instagram postings and YouTube videos of your applications for some time and for IMTS 2016 we want to take it one step farther. For the 2016 IMTS show we would like to showcase the parts that you have made with our tools.  

From now until August 31, we will be accepting applications from shops to be part of our display at IMTS 2016.  We will feature a part made with our tools as well as an informational table tent that would include your shop's logo, City, State and/or Country as well as your website address so other attendees can take a look at your capabilities.  We would also need some specific cutting data as to which tools were used and how.  

​In the meantime, please be sure to use the #DestinyTool hashtag as well as the #IwannaBeOnIMTStv hashtag when posting our products.  The folks at IMTS 2016 have a competition going on to see where the most interesting products are located at the show and then do an interview in the booths that qualify.  This could be a great opportunity for us to talk about YOUR company and part applications!

Destiny 5-3's by 7-1 Promo: 5 Viper End Mills 3 Fluters $119

4/4/2016

0 Comments

 
In the history of Destiny Tool we have not had a tool promotion.  This is the first.  

Here's how it started.
We've had such a wonderful following on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube of customers posting their success stories with our Viper End Mills in 6061, 7075, Brass, Bronze and Copper, making Aerospace  Defense, Racing components and medical products that we wanted to thank them ALL for their support with a special offer...

But then we started talking about it here at the factory...  

Then we talked to with several of our regional manager's and distributors and to some machine shops...  

Frankly, it just didn't seem fair to only offer some special pricing just to our loyal followers, 

"We should offer it to EVERYONE and EVERYONE should thank all of our loyal followers for making this promotion happen!"
So here's the deal.  Between now and June 30 2016, you can purchase 5 Destiny Viper 3 Flute End MIlls as a SET
  • 1 each V33220 - 1/2" diameter, 3 flute, 1-1/4" LOC, 3" OAL
  • 1 each V32416 - 3/8" diameter, 3 flute, 1" LOC, 2-1/2" OAL
  • 1 each V31608 - 1/4" diameter, 3 flute, 1/2" LOC, 2" OAL
  • 1 each V31210 - 3/16" diameter, 3 Flute 5/8" LOC, 2" OAL
  • 1 each V30805 - 1/8" diameter, 3 flute, 5/16" LOC, 1-1/2" OAL
You must use ORDER CODE: V3KIT5 for these items.

It's only $119 for the entire kit.  This promotion ends at midnight June 30, or at 12:01am on July depending on whom you talk to.
Picture
All we ask is one thing from you. Say Thank You to the people that made this promotion happen by picking one of the following:
  1. Follow the #DestinyTool hashtag on Instagram and thank some of the people who have posted video's and pictures of their Destiny Viper experiences, or
  2. Check out our Facebook page and the folks who have shared their Destiny Viper experiences and thank or LIKE their page!. A Lot of small business that can always use your support with a LIKE.
  3. Or you can visit our YouTube Channel; We've favorited many of our customer's video's so you can find them and give them some LIKE!

Give them a big thank you to each of them for making this special pricing promotion happen because we can't ever thank them enough for their continued loyalty and support!

the fine print:
  • THIS PROMOTION MUST BE ORDERED THROUGH YOUR LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR.  
  • NO DIRECT ORDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED AT DESTINY TOOL
  • LIMIT TWO KITS PER MACHINE SHOP

#Instamachinist Video: Making Spice Grinders with Vipers & Diamondbacks

2/17/2016

0 Comments

 
Our friend Kamal over at Rapid Prototype Machining Corp., is at it again with some very cool products.  He's been posting on Instagram his latest project making hand held spice grinders. They are made out of 6061 and finish out at 2" in diameter and only weighing a mirror finished 92.4 grams (3.3 ounces).

Check out the video on the right of a 1/2" DiamondBack in action.  It's fast, so don't blink! 

You can reach Kamal Alpay at
 kemal@rpm-corp.com or visit his website: www.rpm-corp.com

Here is the roughing video that I promised a few people of the @miteebite versagrips in action. There's nothing special about this video, I'm just showing that you can still haul ass with tools, full depth of cut, and your part will go nowhere. In the video I am using a @destinytool 1/2" diamond rougher being held by a @maritoolusa collet style tool holder. Instead of running one part in the middle, we have now put one part on each end. Allowing us to run a top and bottom at the same time.

3D Surface Diamond Back Ball End Mill Roughing

6/18/2013

0 Comments

 
An example of the Diamond Back rougher machining at Mechanized Numerics machine shop, located in Ann Arbor Michigan.
"A brief video showing a 3d roughing operation on these extender brackets. The previous tools couldn't handle the full-depth cut length unlike these Destiny Tool Diamondback roughers. The operation now takes half as much time, and the total part time was reduced by over 10%.

1/2" diameter 3 flute flat Diamondback roughing endmill, 10,000-RPM, 140-IPM (must avoid pulling the parts from their fixture!).
3/8" diameter 2 flute spherical Diamondback roughing endmill, 10,000-RPM, 96-IPM.
Not shown in the video, the finishing operation is done using a 3/8" diameter 2 flute spherical Viper endmill running 0.003-IPT at 12,000-RPM with a 0.020" stepover."
Mechanized Numerics specializes in small production work in aluminum, intricate 3d features, complex surfacing, or otherwise unorthodox workpieces.


Mechanized Numerics (MNL) was formed in 2009 in effort to expand the fabrication abilities of contract work being done for the fluid power industry. In the months that followed, the machine shop was expanded to encompass additional manufacturing for new projects and markets. A secondary goal of the business was to provide unique design options for automation technologies used in workcell and process development activities. 

In 2011 they created a subdivision called Nummech which is meant to specifically support non-industrial products and services. Through this brand they sell a number of parts and equipment made for camera components, paintball accessories, vehicle parts, lighting accessories, and others. They provide OEM products for several companies looking to maintain a foothold in US-based production.

Bracket Roughing on Haas VF2 SS with Diamond Back End Mill

1/26/2013

0 Comments

 
An example of the Diamond Back rougher on a Haas VF2 SS machine at Mechanized Numerics machine shop, located in Ann Arbor Michigan.
"A roughing operation on these mounting bracket workpieces. Shown in the video is a Destiny Tool Diamondback for roughing, then a Destiny Tool Viper is used for finishing.

Cutting parameters: 10,000-RPM, 0.5" full width of cut, 0.505" depth of cut, 0.0073-IPT, 56 in^3/min. The machine was running about 85% load during the high points, but we found the toolholder couldn't retain the endmill if we pulled any harder. 

We tried an alternate toolpath running 1.010" depth of cut, but the toolholder limited the cutting to 0.0035-IPT. The material removal rate was slightly less using the method shown in the video, so we reverted back."
