Description

In this episode, Will Nash and Aaron Kolb discuss the pump shaft machining project—executed with Vargus tooling and filmed start to finish at Harper College. From part print review and tooling selection, to programming in hyperMILL® from OPEN MIND, setup, running the first piece, and final inspection with Bruker alicona, the conversation takes you inside the process. This is Part 1 of our Vargus story, focused on lathe operations.
