Holding it like that puts it all in proper perspective, John. I still stand on the statement that's fine work, and artfully done. I think the little extras really make the engine interesting, and "eyeable". :beer: Jack |

Nice exposition of techniques as always. I was wondering about the tight spiral on the endmill you showed milling the conrod. I have a couple of endmills with such spirals and wonder why they're that way. |

Kvom, A great many of my solid tungsten ones are like that one, six fluted with a tightish spiral, and used mainly in the aerospace industry. I think they are made that way because they are designed for giving a superior finish on harder materials. When I carry out face milling with them, even on something like gauge plate, the finish comes out like a mirror, even with a heavy cut. Bogs |

Yeah, those end mills caught my attention as well. Those are called high helix or high helix angle end mills. They are mostly described as useful for softer materials like aluminum and for providing a nicer finish, although some reports I've read say they don't give as nice a finish on steel as lower helix angle flutes. Never saw a six fluted high helix end mill before. Chuck |

Always very inspiring work Mr Standard! :beer: |
