Ornamental Milling

(1/3) > >>

chipenter:
I watched a demo of ornamental turning at Sandown Park model engineering show last year , I liked the look of it but the lathes are out of my budget , had a go with a rotary table and some router cutters and a fly mill , this is a first attempt .

philf:
Jeff,

Looks excellent - well done.

I guess this took a long time. Did you have to lift the cutter, index the rotary table, drop the cutter etc etc?

Another thing to try on my CNC I think.

chipenter:
Indexed every 5 degrees it's a mill drill set the depth and pull the handel gives me another 1.5 mm , the sides just used the y axsis and my DRO , the clearing up took longer than making the bowl the sawdust floated every where .

vtsteam:
Cool, Jeff!  :thumbup: :clap:

SwarfnStuff:
Really good Jeff.
   As to the dust getting everywhere, well they are called "FLY" cutters   :lol:  Not sure the real reason for the name but today I was cleaning up some brass with said cutter and spent more than a few minutes with the vac tryhing to clean the shop AND myself before coming inside.
