Large Fly cutter

(1/2) > >>

Darren:
I wanted to make a large fly cutter, this one will sweep about 6"

Starting with a blank of alloy to be faced and trued up



Two sides faced and then fitted to my slitting saw arbor to machine the circumference true. A new end cap needs to be made.



The start of the new end cap, machined one end down to 1"



Fitted in a collet and turned around



New end cap finished



All that needs doing now is to mount the cutting tool bit ...

Hi Darren  ,and happy new year

A large fly cutter is some thing i to could do with ,,what are you going to use for the cutter?  i have a good few TCT tips with no tool to fit them i was thinking of using them on a single point fly cutter ,well when i come up with away of mounting them.

Regards Rob

Darren:
Hi Rob,

The plan is to skim a cylinder head at some point. I'm not sure yet if this cutter will be big enough, if not I will make a bigger one as only the alloy disk needs to be re-made. But I think this one will just about do.

Now got to think of a way to mount the cutter, might have to be at an angle to gain a larger throw. Shouldn't be too difficult once I have put some thought into it  :smart:

Happy new year to you and all too  :beer:

raynerd:
