Darren:
Ah yes, thanks chaps, it's not bad
But then I've seen Bogs flycutting, now that IS a finish...... :clap:
And he wasn't even trying...... :bow:
Mine is almost there, just a touch more to go, I believe it's in the tool grinding....practice, practice, practice.. :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:
Divided he ad:
Looks pretty good from here Darren, I bet that looks real good in person? Photo's always make it look different to real life! (well I always look about 4 inches small!? :lol: )
I'll be more than happy to get rid of those damn deep lines you get when your hand goes over the top of the wheel rotation!!!
1 line every 10mm or so..... Does my nut in :bang: It takes forever to file, lap and polish the damn things out!
Looking forward to getting this thing made :thumbup:
Ralph.
Darren:
I think I'm trying too hard :scratch:
I had a look at some utube videos and everyone seems to be setting the feed much faster than I am, like a train in comparison.
So I reshaped the toolbit and this time honed it with a diamond stone.
This is the result, bit of tiny brass, sorry it's so small...that's a 1mm drill bit to give an idea of size.
I noticed tonight how much the whole mill is vibrating (fly cutter is not balanced ). The mill is not bolted down and it's also on a flimsy table.
So I think I'll leave it at that for now till I remount the whole machine.
Ralph, if you come over Sat you can see it in action :thumbup:

Darren,
I have many years of experience in sharpening cutters and setting feeds and speeds. What you are achieving here are your first tentative steps into precision machining.
Give it a little more time and experience, and all of a sudden, you will find that good finishes appear without even trying. I am not boasting at all, but that is the honest truth. From the time since you have realised you can do good work, rather than bodgit jobs, you are making remarkable progress, and that is no BS.
