I Test the Metal Masters Flycutters

I test out a flycutter with a unique design that according to the manufacturer is made for low power machines. It uses a round insert that leaves a remarkable finish.

I like the rounded shape ofthe tool. Never seen that before.
And as I post this comment, you have 998 subs. The 1K is very close now.

[@MicksWorkshop]

It is indeed! Thank you for the comment.

First time ever seeing one of those. I would imagine the mass of the cutter adds to the better surface finish.

[@MicksWorkshop]

Probably. And I imagine it helps with balance, no arm sticking out.

Hi Mick ,nice cutter. I have a shell mill with those inserts. Great as you can rotate mine 12 times.

[@MicksWorkshop]

That's good to know Steve, thank you!

[@garychaplin9861]

Very interesting Mick, I hope you will follow up with more on using these cutters. Do the inserts rotate on your examples? I would be interested to see how they perform on heavier cuts and of course the price comparison.

[@MicksWorkshop]

The inserts do not rotate when in use, but like other round inserts you can loosen them and rotate them to a new cutting edge. I will definitely be using them on future projects. Hopefully I hear back from the company soon. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks Joe,

Have you ever measured the decibels of your mill at different rpms? I'm looking to buy the same mill from PM and I wanted to know how loud the gearhead is.

[@MicksWorkshop]

I have not measured the dB, but I have been told by several knowledgeable visitors that it was much quieter than they expected. I find it to be very quiet.

[@anthonycash4609]

Thats very strange must be the video but i didnt see one chip at all coming off when you were trying it out. And if you cut 10 thousand a pass there should be chips going every where. At least it does on my fly cutters. I will surely give these a look.

[@MicksWorkshop]

Oh there were lots of chips. But they were quite small.
