Very cool! I wanted to make an insert tool like this for a Bridgeport but never got around to it in school. One thing I read in machinery's handbook was that on tooling like this with multiple bits it is useful to slightly offset the slots from true so that it minimizes chatter by broadening the frequency response and lowering the maximum resonant quality. Like for a four-bit cutter, you could offset two consecutive slots by plus one degree from true, and the other by minus one degree. This will slightly alter the balance, but high precision tools need to be balanced after machining anyway. 🙂
This a very talented idea with the mind in the creator for me your 100 percent mechanical engineee who built your owned face milling cutter.... im a motorcycle mechanic in the phillopines and i love what you did to create something .....❤
nice video....very professionally presented.....i very much appreciate that we weren't forced to listen to a talking head and also there was no music.....perfect....just the work and nothing but the work, exactly as it should be.
What kind of milling machine are you using? What kind of tolerance it can provide for boring holes and what are the surface finish tolerance when face milling? Nice tool, I hope you put thought into balancing it.
Stunning.....simply stunning If I cannot convince you to move in next door, perhaps simply down the block......Texas is nice this time of year...LOL Cheers
When you have 4 cutters, how do you dial them in the perfect Z height? I am from Europe, so I guess that the difference for +-0.01 mm is the tolerance. So... When you are working on the block or head surface, it needs to be perfect. Or I am missing something. Also, I would personally mill just the surface for tools and bore a hole through the wheel. Put some M8 or M10 12.9 bolts so if something goes terribly wrong, it would just broke the tool and bolts. Such a huge mass is violent.
Great work, it looks like a really good tool If you shorten the stickout of those tool holders you will get more rigidity and you could probably take heavier cuts
I gotta be honest, at the end of the video when it was spinning on a empty mill, I thought for a second you were going to use it to tram the table of the mill. I about had a heart attack. Well done sir. I love the tool height adjustment screws.
Love it. I'd like a half inch thick plexiglass guard between it and my head if I was using it. Just in case a grub screw came loose and it threw a tool holder at me!
Nice project - thanks! I'm very interested in the "router table" that you show at 9:18. Is the (appears to be 8-flute) bearing-guided chamfer bit something you purchased or fabricated? If purchased, can you share the source, and if fabricated, any details on what you started with and how you went about it. Do you use any other bits in it (e.g., very small corner radius)? I use router tables all the time in woodworking but hadn't thought of extending the concept to finishing steel parts - genius! A brief overview of your machine would make a very nice, short video. Thanks!
Whoa! That's a very nice cutter! With all that mass, it should power through most jobs easily 👍 I've used a large 160mm concrete hole saw as a face mill for finishing a large wood surface. The wood block was too thick to fit in a planer/joiner, so I thought "hey, we can use a hole saw like a fly cutter". On location, didn't have too many tools or too much time, and we had to finish the job, so it seemed like a good idea at the time (doesn't it always). We (I mean me) underestimated the cutting forces involved, and the very first cut send the chunk of wood flying 6 feet across the room, and toppled the heavy drill press it was mounted on!! Thankfully, the cord came loose and the machine switched itself off. For a moment there, I felt someone was going to die 😱 Thankfully no one was injured. After that we clamped everything double tight, increased the cutter speed, slowed the feed way down and then it gave a really nice finish on that block of wood.
QUERO UNO IGUALITO, pero recién estoy haciendo mi torno, pieza por pieza porque no hay plata, pero apenas termine eso lo pondré en mis primeros proyectos, que alucinante, ver una maquinaria perfecta un sueño que todos quisieran tener y pensar que dentro de todo hay personas que nos dan esas ilusiones y nos enseñan con tanta paciencia que hasta un niño entendería, gracias don Pablo
Excelent. I have to do the same thing on my mill, 'cause my lathe isnt' big enough, to produce 2 spoked wheels for my bandsaw 440 mm in diameter. =/ I hope it will work as planned.. Cheers.
Grinding is great for producing the smoothest finish, but lousy for hogging rough material off. Fly cutting can beat a surface true quite efficiently, but usually at the cost of finish fineness. A surface cutter kind of strikes a happy medium between the 2, it can hog off material rapidly AND produce a fine surface finish. Most commercial block and head surfacing operations use just the surface cutter for that very reason. While tooling is a major expense initially, the time of use/production output over the lifetime of the tool is what makes a shop profit. A metal shaper is quite capable of surfacing, but the work is so slowly done that shop throughput would be very low, as an extreme example. Every square foot of shop floor has to earn more than it costs in overhead expenses. "Best compromise" of speed/finish maximizes throughput, thus profit and customer satisfaction
I made a really similar one.. I had an 8" round of 1 1/2" I used, figured the weight is good against vibrations. I have horizontal 1/2" grooves in mine that hold a TPG insert holder like a flycutter.
IDK if you'll read this but if you used steel may I ask what it ended up weighing?? I only need to deck single cylinder heads. The NOS 8" Valenite I bought seems far too heavy for my Bridgeports quill lock... But, for 40$ it makes one heck of a paper weight!!
This is beautiful. But also a bit strange considering how it is made. Why chamfer with a Dremel in stead of with a file, why paint the tool houlders instead of bluing them, why sand blast the contract surfaces. Still a great cutter
Thanks. Radial distance is not a problem. The deviation is to 0.05 mm. The problem is in a weak spindle. By default it will be designed for aluminum up to 0.1mm removal for a cylinder heads.
Nice job,pretty cool face mill, also I liked the use of a mill like a lathe to true up the material to the arbor!👍🇺🇸

Dude,I love the way when you use the mill as Lathe. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching
Right, that's what I think too!👍💪🙏🏡🇺🇸
wow..... like every time its so wonderfull to watch... you r a genius !!!!
Thank you very much.
That's the tool I am talking about, nice and easily done ! Love your video, right on Paul !
Merci... vous m'avez montré des méthodes que je n'avais pas imaginées pour cette fabrication
Beau travail
Estoy fascinado con su video y los cortadores de asientos como se o donde compran de antemano gracias espero su respuesta felicidades.
The precision of your cutting oil application is unmatched.
nice video....very professionally presented.....i very much appreciate that we weren't forced to listen to a talking head and also there was no music.....perfect....just the work and nothing but the work, exactly as it should be.
OLÁ. O "cruzamento" fica por conta da Viação Férrea? ABRAÇOS Roberto Udo Krapf
incredible precision, perfect craftsmanship, powerfull tools. Total 💯 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This face cutter is beautiful. Shaves like a razor. Especially this five-valve head. Congratulations 👌.
Thank you 🙂.
What kind of milling machine are you using? What kind of tolerance it can provide for boring holes and what are the surface finish tolerance when face milling? Nice tool, I hope you put thought into balancing it.
Looks like that head needs a lot more than just a deck. 😂😂 Enjoyed it, thanks for sharing.
Stunning.....simply stunning

Thanks for watching .
That's some kinda flycutter!
I love it!!!!
офигенно! но обычно вроде треугольная пластина и один резец! я такую на ф300 сделал)))
Вот тоже стало интересно, зачем 4? С одной чистота по моему лучше была бы!

Cylinder head came out beautifully ! Good jod GENIUS
Thanks
Nice videos i am very enjoy with your video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing this. It's absolutely Beautiful.
Best one of these I've seen on RUclips. Well done.
I've done turning on a mill before, but never seen anything that big turned that way before.
It work's exactly the way it should and leaving a nice finish
Your craftsmanship is a 10 star rating 👍
Beautiful!!!! You're a Máster, genius👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching
Excellent design and manufacture, great addition to the shop.
Thanks for sharing
A hell of great cutting job ! Awesome .
Great project, and I liked the sandblasted finish. What RPM do you use for steel, and for aluminium?
600 rpm
That’s a beautiful finish on both pieces !!
Great work, it looks like a really good tool
If you shorten the stickout of those tool holders you will get more rigidity and you could probably take heavier cuts
Thanks for watching.
My mill is weak construction.
That's why I bet on the greater weight of the tool.
@@PaulXchannel I had the exact same problem with my old mill and did something similar. Looks like you are getting good results with it!
Thanks. Are you preparing a new video?
@@PaulXchannel Always :) Next month hopefully
Ok
Clever use of the mill mate.
Coolest project I have seen in a while. Great work!
I gotta be honest, at the end of the video when it was spinning on a empty mill, I thought for a second you were going to use it to tram the table of the mill. I about had a heart attack.
Well done sir. I love the tool height adjustment screws.

Bro I think you don't need of surface grinding machine because u complete almost in milling. By the way very good this is high precise work.
Talent beyond belief. I love it.

Excellent filming and excellent machining. Great video
Good stuff! And nice editing too 👍🏼
Thanks
Bellissimo utensile, complimenti
this tool can cut/facing the iron cylinderhead?thanks
Yes
Best working. And best of the best tools. Getting better

see HHW catalog
This to much for this little machine, nice problem solving. Greating from Hungary
Thanks.
The solution is a higher tool weight.
Excelente profissional. Parabéns! Nota 10....100.....1000

What mill do you use or what would be a good mill to start doing stuff like this
Stronger mill.
My machine is weak.
What a great project this is. Thanks for the step by step pics. May i ask what thickness the cutter ended up at?
Thanks.
4cm.
I had the same idea of doing this but from machining from a salvaged flywheel. You think I could get away with that?
💯👍
Machines with the participation of the human mind create other machines or tools. Congratulations 👌.
Thank you 😀.
What size of the spindle did you use your smart man using the mil as lathe
morse taper 3
बहुत ही सुंदर 💯
Excelent. I have to do the same thing on my mill, 'cause my lathe isnt' big enough, to produce 2 spoked wheels for my bandsaw 440 mm in diameter. =/ I hope it will work as planned.. Cheers.
Very Nice vidéo and good job
Thank you very much for sharing it! I really enjoyed watching this beautiful work! Ty again 👍🏻
Thanks for watching.
How can I contact you directly about this? And your valve seat cutter.
Дуже професійно виконана робота, підписався на канал
Been a machinist for 40 years never seen cutting inserts removed from the packet with tweezers!
I will use chopsticks in future videos :)
Thanks for sharing whole process. Is the press fit and force of the screw enough to take the cutting force?
Thanks.
As a whole it is reliable.
AWESOME. GREAT TOOL.
Just a Qs: would not a sanding stone be cheaper solution to flatten the metal?

@@dc6233 i've never weighed it, but I did have it in the quill and the lock seemed fine with it.. certainly enough mass there to prevent vibration
Not a Cylinder Head at 15:45. . That is a carburetor body. Very nice fly cutter. . impressive.
If that is a carb body, you are on the wrong videos, go watch how to change your oil tutorials.
Thats impressive
Do you work on car engines?
Thanks.
Only a motorcycles.
Nice video, thanks brother
Perfect.. Thank you for sharing it!
Thanks
How many carbide inserts did you dull trying to cut through the scale?
So far I've only used these.
With that nice cutter uuhhh.... Suscribed!!..
Perfect brother..nice 💯❤🤝🇮🇩indonesia
Good job...always great to watch
Thanks
Nice face mill using button turning inserts
your post is univercity and very good thank you
Thanks for watching
This is beautiful. But also a bit strange considering how it is made. Why chamfer with a Dremel in stead of with a file, why paint the tool houlders instead of bluing them, why sand blast the contract surfaces. Still a great cutter
Thanks for watching
I think that's so awesome that you can make your own tools with machine tools, but you need so many machines that I don't have.
Lovely balanced fly cutter
This is an awesome video! This part that you Made turned out really well! Great job keep up the good work!
Aí sim hein uma ótima ferramenta show 🙏
Awesome video!!! I am a follower and beginner machinist what speed and feed did you use? Many thanks!!
Thanks.
When exactly?
When you did the final surface milling of the head, many thanks!
Very nice. I thought i heard an uneven beat when you cut in slow motion, i know you checked the tool height but what about the radial distance?
Thanks.
Radial distance is not a problem.
The deviation is to 0.05 mm.
The problem is in a weak spindle.
By default it will be designed for aluminum up to 0.1mm removal for a cylinder heads.
Подскажите пожалуйста! Какой конус на приспособлении?
Wonderful work...
I really enjoyed watching the video thanks
Thanks for watching
I want this fly cutter so much
What inserts did you use?
try skimming a cylinder head with 1 cutter.
great video.
nice work dude!!!
excellent job a hug from Portugal✌✌✌
15:36 what is the name of that stone and what is it for? Saludos de mexico👍
only grinding stone
Good job, this is fvrite turning solution.
Excellent craftmanship buddy,enjoyed the build👍👍
Thanks.
Using a mill as a lathe. Nice
it was amazing, full of technique and precision😊👍
Thanks
Nice custom job👍
Thanks
