Parting off on a Warco WM280V

<< < (2/2)

Parting off is one of those areas where witches have input, when its good its good and when its not its not, its all about attention to detail. that said it still does not work.
Recently I had some repetitive work, left some work parting on power cross feed whilst I went and brewed a cuppa LOL.

Mad or what? Phil

 :lol: If I left a parting operation under power & made a brew, it would taste of FEAR!

In fairness, my old Edgwick is generally pretty good about parting off - so long as I use a decent amount of cutting oil, and don't part off heavy lumps (unless supported), it generally goes straight through no bother. I mostly use Mircona insert tooling.

I have, in the past, smashed a few inserts when, in the dying seconds, the part that's being cut off has sagged, trapped the tool and caused mayhem (well, usually a broken insert & often a damaged tool holder). So, anyone who's been trying to buy Mircona MT-3 tips, or RH parting off toolholders on eBay, er, sorry. I probably bought it...  :wave:
