    You, sir, have done so well since your early days with your lathe. I’m so impressed with your attitude. You remain humble and are joyous with your accomplishments. I continue to enjoy your videos each time you post.

    Great channel. Ex machinist myself and still love to see finely manufactured parts. Looking forward to future content. All the best.

    Great video! I like your honest presentation. You're honest about your skills, desire to improve and willingness to try and learn new things. It's refreshing to see someone dive into a project and expose it for all its good and bad. I think people are able to learn from your efforts and honest and open self assessments. Thank you.

    That is a very nice tool and will serve you well for a long time. Xynudu is a very practical fellow. He distills things down to the simplest solution. Been watching his channel for a long time. Keep on keeping on.

    I like watching the amateur videos the best by far--they are very honest and sincere. I like the people being honest as to what they are thinking while making an item and showing everything they do. If a person becomes a career machinist of course flycutters are not used and the reasons why are evident in the video especially the final photo showing the polished surface. The poster is on the right track however that the old flycutters are not made or used anymore--they are all variations of putting carbide bits in them. The actual method to use is make a universal arbor--not the entire cutter complete with shank. Then any cutter concept you choose you simply make the head (shell mill concept)--and do as you please and mount it on the universal arbor. I am not a narrator or good video make but I demo one on a video I uploaded. The quality of youtube videos is exploding exponentially and I simply cannot narrate or do a pro video.

    May I add ~You~ are not the Only Utuber that has cut on the wrong side of the Line whilst creating a Fly cutter!!!
    Me, I have a TAIG Micro Mill, and Starting with .750 thousand Stainless Steel I Did a cut down shank to .375" and Carefully Recalling a post of "I cut the wrong side of the line" did a .125 inch @ 20 degrees, and soldered a piece of Carbide from a 7 1/4" WOOD Saw Blade. It has worked Marvously, and Like you said: " . . . And I made it"!!!!

    This was the perfect accessory for my "milling machine" - AKA a Delta 17-900 drill press. I whipped one up and it works great, and you're right - those little harbor freight 1/4" indexable tools work pretty good. Anytime Tools sells replacement inserts in c6 carbide that will fit the HF 1/4" tools if you cut steel, so that's cool too. Anyway, thanks bunches for posting this video. It was a fun project that I can use on other fun projects. But one of these days I'm going to make something that's NOT an accessory for another tool. One of these days... :-)

    I happened to have a one inch steel bar I have no idea where I got it. It made a great pry bar so I cut off a piece to make a fly cutter. I have the shank part cut to 3/4 inch. I was looking at your angle for the tool of 20 degrees but for my tool it looks like it's not going to be enough 25 looks better. I ordered a R8 x 3/4 inch collect. Now all I need is the milling machine.

      I bought a 1984 Enco RF-30 mill, on craigs list, that has the worm gear driven power feed, for $600.00, complete with a huge assortment of original parts, R-8 collets, two racks of T-bolts and hold down tools, along with many extras, two German made chucks... Got a nice boring bar set, huge machinists vise (US made), flycutter that holds 1/4" lathe bits, and custom steel welded stand. All on May 24th. 2HP 120/240 volt motor. Now, I want a lathe, and see four for $500!!!

      Everyone gets a new mill and throughs a cattier in it and makes chips, also learn how to clean and oil you machine. Next lean how to disassemble it and true it up. Then learn how to use a indicator with a mag base or needed holder, it with save you hours of frustration.

  • @MechatronCNC-HVM
    @MechatronCNC-HVM 8 лет назад

    cool :)
    If your drilling without a center drill its best to carefully wind the drill into the material at the start(0.5mm/0.019685"), when the drill first touches into the material if you leave it there for 30 seconds it will straighten out and cut back on center. i used this method for a lot of my cnc conversion brackets before i brought a spot drill/centerdrill.

    Nice job.
    It turned out very well, and works a treat.
    I like the way you milled the side as well - I did think about that, but it's not as easy on a vertical mill slide.
    What milling machine do you have ? It seems to work well.
    You will find that the finish on aluminium can be improved by using HSS bar with a round nose radius in place of the carbide cutter.
    You can also upgrade the quality of your TCMT inserts if you get chipping issues on steel.
    Great video.
    Cheers Rob

    • @PracticalRenaissance
      @PracticalRenaissance  8 лет назад

      +xynudu thanks Rob, that means a lot! I have a Grizzly G0704, a "big" mini mill :) it's sold under different brands and names all over the place too.
      I actually planned on demonstrating an HSS cutter as well but didn't have a 1/4" tool already ground and laziness got the best of me, I'm gonna have to give it a try, same with better carbide inserts. Thanks for checking my video out!

    Very cool! I just happen to have some 1 1/4" 4140 that I want to try this on. Sorry if I missed if you mentioned in the video, but what was the offset on the slot for the cutting tool?
    Thanks for sharing!!

    • @PracticalRenaissance
      @PracticalRenaissance  8 лет назад

      Good luck! I actually didn't mention in the video but the slot offset was basically one side on the centerline of the cylinder; I touched off on one side of the part, moved over 1/2 the width of the workpiece, and didn't correct for the centerline of the tool. The idea is so that the tool's cutting surface is just at centerline, if that makes sense. Great question, thanks for watching!!

    if you remake your tool also make a tool bit and put a 7 degree negative rake on insert put the heat in to the chip and should also make the finish nicer

  • @turningpoint6643
    @turningpoint6643 8 лет назад +1

    C 2 does not designate the carbide quality, it's an industry standard that basically means how hard that type of carbide is. And large depths of cut will hammer the hell out of your spindle bearings. Flycutters are meant to be a finishing tool. Your mills tram looks very close already. Due to a slight amount of flex within the spindle bearings, head mount, column flex, and even the tool itself a very slight back cut is pretty normal to see.

    Please, for the love of spongebob, put a few screw dents into that insert.
    If the screws go even a little bit loose, you have a chance of ending up with a hefty carbide insert wound, placed right about your most vital bits.
