- Part 1 of 2 - Building a fly cutter.
Am not a big fan of multi-part videos, but .. act of god: Mill went down. Might take a bit to get it sorted, so I'm doing a 2 parter. Apologies ahead of time.

RIP Tony's mill. May your chips always be straw colored, and your adjectives never be "clapped out".
ha!
This Old Tony when’s the surface gauge coming?
@@ThisOldTony
Surface gauge?
This Old Tony surface gauge?
@@ThisOldTony So, that gear up yet? 2020 is the year of the Surface Gauge...
That must have been a big allen wrench...
I saw this comment before the video started and i died when it came in frame
U mean a hex wrench?
@@kylet9969 same thing
No, it's normal sized, Tony just shrank.
I heard he got it from Allen himself
"This is not a drill… it is a mill!"
Thank you for making me happy, Tony!
out of all my subs Tony is the only one I get excited to see videos from. I love these videos
You need to find new people to subscribe to.
Justin Bell no, that's a great position to be in. It's the same case with me. AvE, Clickspring and Tony are my three top channels
Tony and SNS.
Guds777 Who is SNS, what am I missing on the RUclipss?

Whenever my dad said "It'll do you good," or, "It'll build character," what he really meant was "It'll serve you right."
haha!
I hope you mill is OK, Tony! I enjoy and learn so much from you videos that YOUR mill is LITERALLY the most important mill in the world to me.
haha.. here here

Thank you for breaking down the basics us you're videos are always educational, witty and incredible quality. Always look forward to them!
I'm in the process of making a fly cutter based on your video tony, when in the exact same stage of making the 10 degree angle, the switch of my mill melted too. Guess I'm following the tutorial to the spot.
Except maybe that I'm using a round stock steel, didn't have a hex :)
..loving the humor. As a woodturner I finished a little bit smarter about cutting speeds after your explanation. Thank you.
I am a hobbyist living in rural area North of Thailand. Having no background in machine learning, only learn this from RUclips and Google. Learning a lot by watching your videos on many topics
I was just thinking about that hazy area just before you mentioned it. Look at you go!
Half the time we save using mechanical advantages is spent keeping them running lol
As field service I am impressed that the FLIR was used for troubleshooting. Bravo, not many people know about that.
I want to thank you again for the great channel, There are a lot of great machining and welding channels out there but 2 stand out, Yours, and Jody at Welding tips and tricks.
You both provide a great amount of content in a relatively short presentation.
Others, who I really like like Mrpete and the like, are really good info, but a 45 minute video with 15 minutes of content, gets hard to stay engaged with. find myself fast forwarding through a lot stuff.
Thanks for the great work Tony!
Dang, a change in surface finish due to turning speed ? I thought it was the growth rings of the steel
If those are growth rings;He should use a circular saw with appropriate blade that away he would get an even cut across the grain.
Yeah, ironwood.
The end of the video was a hoot. thanks for the explanation of feeds and speeds. I do not have a machinist background, but I am getting a better understanding with your help and the good book.
haha - you're one of the most creative characters I know and you just demonstrated what, to me, is the greatest benefit of being creative - the ability to make the best of a bad situation. This channel is great!
thank you!
Thanks for doing what you do. Love the effort you put into your videos.
Thanks Earl!
"I got about 1 hour to my self
I think i can knock one out"
Yea wtf haha
I can usually knock 1 out in an hour to myself😂😂
YOU'RE SO EDUCATIONAL!! I LOVE IT!! I'M YELLING BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT!!
I've seen all of your videos, and this is easily my favorite channel on the entire internet, followed closely by clickspring.
Thanks Brad!
Hey Tony! Thanks for so much input in 2016. Happy new year to you and your family. I recommend your site to lots of people! Excellent job in all respects.
Great explanation on cutting speeds.
Since he mentioned the automatic variable cutting speed based on the diameter modification, I'm really tempted to do it to my lathe, it's running a VFD so it would be pretty easy
It must be a weird feeling on a manual lathe to have it running up as you face something, LOL!
I ran a manual Weiler Practicant VC for some time - It had the constanc speed feature...real scary when the machine turned up to 3000rpm when facing something...
(Yes, the max. speed could be limited if the setup did not allow such high rpms..like a offcenter clamped part on a face plate)
I assume you'd have to feed the VFD positional information from your DROs?
You would, and your control could likely be doing a zero on the centre point, setting the desired speed and a maximum RPM you would let it go to, maybe a percentage of the initial RPM? To stop whoopsies
I hope the mill is ok. Its the middle of winter with nothing to do but watch videos and shovel snow.
Flycutters are great for some materials such as plastics and other soft materials. Many people see them as "old school" facemills. They just have to be run at slower feed rates and rpms; mostly because of the unbalanced nature of the tool. If used properly, they can produce a better finish than facemills. I think it is funny to be making a flycutter using a facemill. Great job Tony. You are the best.
Another thing is that it is easy to grind a custom tool for a flycutter. I did that once to make a large threadmill to cut a strange profile multi-start plastic cap thread. Also shop made gear cutting is often done with one, too.
Heh, I don't even do any machine shop type work--I just watch these because they are so well written/scripted/edited.
Every new video on this channel is a treat.
Thanks Johnathan!
Thanks Tony, no need to apologize. Best explanation yet of why the surface finish changes on a lathe. For earballing I love the Wixey...the square is nice too. Hope you find the contactor easily no fuss no muss, low duckets....~PJ
I notices the surface finish and thought that that must have to do something with the rpm of the lathe and wondered how this exactly works. Seconds later you explain it. Love it!
Love the calibrated tilt gauge, carefully adjusting the completely arbitrary 10 degrees.
that hex piece looked like a huge allen key with those corners cut on the end
I hadn't looked at how many subs you had in a while, and was shocked to find that you only had 86 thousand. You are by far the most undersubscribed RUclipsr I know. Keep the greatness going and you'll succeed I guarantee
I truely believe TOT is the highest quality instructional video of any kind I have seen anywhere on youtube. I could not agree more. I'm not a machinist, but these videos fascinating. Even my wife, who is not mechanically minded, enjoys watching these videos because of the great production value and sense of humor. Keep up the good work!!!
I agree! Found TOT while searching for CNC Router videos and haven't looked back. Easy to listen as he walks us through the videos and amazing what I've learned to date. Keep up the great work Tony!
he just needs to make a few slugs for taofledermaus and it will triple over night...
omg yes pls do this tony
TOT and Clickspring belong in the youtuber's hall of fame.
I was just talking to a friend about surface speed the other day, and I keep trying to get him to watch your videos; so I think I can finally get him hooked with this one!
Hope the mill doesn't take too much to get it back up and running!
No need to apologize... excrement occurs! to all of us. Excellent tutorial on the feed and speed. Looking forward to part 2
I'd rather have two parts than have to wait longer to have the full length! Triple pun surely intended. Love your work!
I love this channel, everything from the subject matter and video production to the exquisite dad humor is fantastic
Mate.... I just have to say... even tho you are very clever and obviously Uber experienced from doing this you’re whole career, you still take the time to explain everything. I love that !
Although being 50+ I’m very new to this and just lap up every word.
Great sense of humour too which makes learning much more interesting.
If all the teachers back in school were as interesting and funny as you I would have learned considerably more and would probably be a rocket scientist by now 😊
Looking forward to part 2 👍
Oooh! I'm super glad you did that "filler material"! I wondered as soon as i saw it what had caused that difference in surface finish :P
Now I'm aching to see part 2, if only to find out about that contactor :O
Love the videos and the humor. Cheers
When you were facing that hex stock I noticed that surface finish changing because of the change in material removal rate, and then you talked about it. Now I consider myself a psychic, lol.
You have no idea how much that surface finish was bothering me. Thanks for explaining all that!
Hi Tony , no worries we will all wait with baited breath for part two , happy new year to you and your family
Regards from the UK

One of the very first things I learned was RPM = Cutting Speed * 4 / Diameter. In a lathe Diameter is your workpiece, in a mill it's your cutter. With your example of a 3" workpiece at 1000 surface feet/min Cutting Speed, that comes out to about 1300 RPM, so your 1200 RPM is good and it shows. By the, say, 1.5" diameter you'd need 2,600 RPM to keep from falling out of the ideal range like you did and your surface finished suffered. The very rare Monarch 1000EE lathe is an example of a manual lathe which often came with a constant cutting speed feature. Maybe the Monarch Series 60 and 61 had it, too.
I think Acer? made one or two but I'm not surprised to hear the Monarch did too.
The famous duo - feeds and speeds - don’t know why, but I could not stop laughing at that image 😂
900 ft/min on a shaper..... Am I then only one having goose bumps from this?
Although that's the correct number, shapers don't really like carbide / insert tooling. Good catch.

Great vid, hope you get the mill back up and running!
6:15. can we please get 'Speeds & Feeds' famous duo t-shirts, with that logo. count me in. or a toolbox magnet.
Keep it up mate. Always fun and informative, your videos.
I think you should have used your time machine to go back to yesterday when the mill was fine 😉
Hope its an easy fix...
Mills are more powerful than time, you know this.
Man..those Euromills with their wacky wiring ;)
Not made in Germany....
Stefan Gotteswinter everything is crap except made in germany
I'm no machinist, at best my metal work goes as far as a crappy welding but I do enjoy watching videos of stuff being made well. Kevin.
Thanks!
New Year New Lathe!!! Blessed New Year, Tony. Keep the videos coming!!!
Another one to add to the greats.
Really enjoyed this video. Learned a lot. Keep it up!
well, here I thought this was about fly dissection - still very much enjoyed and learned from this video. Thanks Tony
Loved the technical talk in the middle! Thanks!
Why are facing cuts so satisfying to watch? Is it just me? 🤩
Noooo I can't cope having to wait. Love your work Tony. Have a great 2017.
Dude I love your vids, informative and highly entertaining.
Thank you for your wonderful videos!
Feeds and Speeds had the best singles of the 1610s.
aaaaaaah not only a 2-parter but also a serious cliffhanger, damn you tony for making such entertaining videos!
first you make me google what a fly cutter is, then i find out it's not chopping insects to bits at all, and i still watch the vijeo. well done.
I expected to see flies cut in two.
He'd have had to catch and freeze some before winter.
What like the kind that are on a man’s pants?
@@orppranator5230 those are weener cutters.
with enough skill
Best half of a video I have ever seen. Happy New Year.
Idk how to run a mill or a lathe, but I absolutely love your videos is so fricken cool!! I wish I had a quarter of the skill and talent you have. Great video as always!!
Tony, I learn something new with every video. I have an old lathe an it came with a bunch of HSS tooling. I wanted to get "fancy" and upgrade to carbide tools but it appears I will do fine with what I have. Since I am just learning anyway it is better to start slow. Very entertaining as always.
I've slowly started moving over to almost all insert tooling.. mostly because I find it cheap at flea markets :) -- but I'm glad I started with HSS and turn to it when I have a finicky problem to solve. What one learns sharpening their own HSS translates into all the other tooling that's out there.
High speed steel is greatly preferred by the Dutch and Scottish!
Again, excellent video. You're on the forefront of making RUclips machining videos, seriously, you're on the cutting edge (adjusted for part diameter and rotation speed) awesome video production. Good job.
ha!
Oh I hate it when that happens. For us it wasn't the relay for the motor it was a pneumatic reservoir that blew in the cold and the replacement overloaded and shot across the shop like a bouncy ball. Another regulator further up the line solved the problem. Note for newbies, make sure that the reservoir is rated to the pressure of your line or it will blow. If not, then regulators will save you having to buy reservoirs constantly to replace the blown ones 😒!
Thank you so much for the videos that you have done this year. Marvellously informative and entertaining with a fantastic sense of humour. I am only to aware of the time and effort that goes in to making a video once again my sincere thanks.
Happy New Year
Kind Regards
Jim Walton
Well I'm ready to wait this entire year for the next part XD
right now my list of things to do is so long ill probably never die...
Oh yes you will but your list will live forever.:>)
hah!
Damn you Tony, i had my cake and tea ready to see this through, you really let us down with poor maintenance... Get the 2nd half up before my tea goes cold :)
Blasting laughter so early and waking up the household!
Angry pixies hay. They always bring the fun part up
Your vids are great, I binge watch them
At 3 minutes, I could not help but sing, "Let's talk about hex, baby / Let's talk about you and me..."
Feeds n' speed? Wtf! I have know idea what you are talking about 50 % of the time but you're one of the few channels I look forward to seeing new videos come out for! Keep it up boss!
Bummer about the mill good explanation on cutting speeds, I have always wondered why CNC lathes do the progressive ramp ups when facing
now i have to wait until the next year to see the 2nd part, great...
I hope you get your mill fixed soon and without spending a ton of money
I really enjoy your videos! I can get very good tips and tricks for my work. I'm learning a mechanical in Germany and have a lot of work with the lathe or mill to do. Interesting to see, how you are calculating the rpm. I've learned that Cutting speed is: Speed=pi*diameter*rpm. So slightly different calculation of rpm as you do.
Thanks.. and I think that's the same formula, just solve for RPM since speed is what you already know (target speed).. assume pi=3 and there are 12 inches per foot and you'll get the formula I used. If you're metric the constants will look different, but same formula.
I hope your mill will be an easy fix!
Good luck
2.5 years later and I'm still waiting for this surface gauge build lol
Jared Williams I literally just looked through all of ToT’s videos for a surface gauge build video, only to be disappointed...
The beauty of the contactor going down mid-video is that part 2 will hopefully pay for the new part.
Love those Wixey gauges.
in our workshop we have an old manual lathe probably like 20-30 years old, it has a lever to up the RPM on the fly as your turning
but i think it's the only (manual) lathe we have with that option
Love the ending
Boring comment alert! Thanks for all your interesting videos. I've learned a great deal from you.
the funny thing about to do lists is that then never die, however you do so keep that in mind when putting stuff off
Darnit Tony i had just sprinkled my popcorn with hot sauce to watch this video. It was at the most exciting time too.
Im scrolling through your archive for oldies
"i have an hour to myself to knock one out".. that means something very different in the UK. :)
Can't wait for the other 50% of the build !
I aktually worked just once on a lathe which increase rpm if u move into the center and its nice but i rlly love those big gearboxed at the older lathes
Good thing for the surface finish sidetrack or this would have been a 2 minute video! Holding breath for Part 2, good stuff man.
Or did the surface finish tangent CAUSE the break?!
This Old Tony Mind == Blown
It's a bit of a bummer that your mill started to misbehave. I hope you will get it sorted out. (Or more specific I know you will)
I have the same ISO/INT/QC 30 spindle taper on my mill and any new tooling that you make for it is something that I look forward to see.
"Since this is probably going to be a short video and I need some filler content..."
*creates video in two parts*
Lmao. Glad you gave the cutting speed explanation though.
I wish I had a This Old Tony to pull out of nowhere. Kinda like pokemon except instead of fighting other Tonys, he just helps out around the shop.
Oh oh Bozo no no! As far as surface finish goes, if someone says, "Hey I can see myself!" I know that it's too fine a finish. Thumbs up.
I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work. Thanks for uploading. Dave (the non-machinist), yet...
You definitely owe us an apology for that.
I won’t go into feed now, *perfectly describes feed* haha
At work we use carbide inserts for aluminium on our steel that leaves a good surface finish
4 years later, where’s the surface gauge build? The fly cutter must fulfil its destiny of bringing a surface gauge into this world
