Chuck, Have a look at this - might help a little with the milling. http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=4678.msg51465#msg51465 :beer: DaveH |

Thanks, Dave, I truely needed that. One of the casualties was a double end mill cutter I inhereted from my late father. Sad loss. It had done many parts when all of a sudden it started spitting out very hot blue chips and I had not changed anything I was doing that I could tell. I did have a few situations where the vise was not tight enough, and the part was sucked up in the vise and the depth of cut started getting deeper. But, when I started this project, I though I had enough experience with my equipment to know when something was not right. Wake up call! Can you recommend a set of mill cutters for general purpose projects like we do, including slots, cleaning out for dovetails, etc.? Should I be getting carbide for roughing and HHS for finishing? Should I be using endmills for squaring/cleaning up stock or should I get a face mill? I have copied your referred post to Word and saved it. I will now sit in the corner and study it... Thanks again, Dave. Chuck in E. TN |

Chuck, Here's a bit on carbide mill cutters - some useful info. http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=4861.0 --- Quote from: Chuck in E.

TN --- End quote --- The above is a really good question, comments and answers could really benifit others. Would you mind posting your question - say in TOOLS. This way it should generate a good discussion. It is not that I don't want to answer I will, I just think it is such a good question it deserves a post on it's own. :beer: DaveH |
