I screwed up using a slitting saw..

<< < (2/3) > >>

AdeV:
Could you use a Dremel-type slitting disk? They are very thin, and you could really ramp the RPMs up to keep it rigid. Plus if it does sh­atter, all you have to do is load a new disk & carry on...

ieezitin:
Adev......

your suggestion is a superb one, and one i am going to try i have this ball'sed up piece to practice on.

I will see what thickness disks they make i really want this slit thin.


Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS........................  if you noticed i put the piece in a collet block with the intentions of indexing it, i done all that then i moved the mill,,   some days i aint all that bright :wack:

Anzaniste:
Was the table locked in the x axis?
The work piece will be pushed to the left in the first cutting operation and in the second cut to the right. If not locked on the gibs then the table could move to the extent of the play in the backlash. With such a fragile blade only a small amount of movement could spell disaster.

That my friend is a good question...... i don't think i locked it thinking this blade had no ass to move it, well!!!! i thought wrong didn't I.   :wack:

I am procuring some more material to re-try this, i will up date my findings.

Wonder how you got on with this,first of all doing it like this the head has to be blob on square think about it the blade will jam,stainless the blade has to be sharp,coolant flood it cant saw cut with any degree of success by putting a drop of oil on,revs for that diameter blade no more than 80revs or you will melt your blade,do all this and if you went an inch deep just feed the table accross by hand slowly-shouldnt be a problem do this sort thing all the time with blades the thickness your using down to .030 thick -that particular job theres nothing wrong with hand feeding across into the job-but I would have set my saw to break thro the wall and hand fed longitudial then backed off turned your block and finished the job its probably lack of coolant thats causing your problems
