I am a little late to the party here but I am also new to machining. I made one of these before looking at your video and only did one thing differently. On yours, the screws always push the tool off center. When I made mine, the screws always push the tool toward the center. If I want to use a smaller tool, it still will be centered. I don't know how much difference this makes. It just made sense to me. I enjoy your videos!
What a brilliant video ! I've got one for the taig one for the mini mill and one for the horizontal mill . I really enjoy your explanation. Keep up the brilliant work!
Paul Sprute My setup was purchased from an eBay seller for about $12. I had to add the ball valve (~$6) and the magnetic stand was one I had. The air hose came from the local "box" hardware store, Lowes and was $5 for 25 foot. The hose fitting is 8mm, but 5/16 hose works fine. It's a simple siphoning system and so far seems to work really well. Thanks for stopping by.
It's what Fastenal sells (FMT), but they only sell by the 5 gallon bucket & 55 gallon drum. I bought a quart from a guy to give it a try. I'm mixing it 25:1. This project was the first time I used the misters so I'm still evaluating the coolant. The biggest thing I know about it so far is that it stinks to high heaven - smells like burnt rubber before it's mixed. Doesn't smell bad while in use though. I'm watching for any rust on my equipment, etc before deciding if I want to buy more. Thanks for stopping by.
+MrPragmaticLee Thanks for the reply. I just noticed the clear color. I use Kool Mist brand mixed 4.5oz to 1 gallon water. It has a blue color. I have not had any issues on neither my lathe nor my mill with rust using the Kool Mist.

Nice job on the fly cutter. I love the wide cut of a fly cutter but hate the flying chips.
Yep, them chips go everywhere is you don't put up some kind of shield. Thanks for stopping by.
I thought cutting through rust is a bad idea. Maybe its better to make heavy first cuts to cut mostly metal rather than rust.
thanks for the video.
GREAT VIDEO !!
Thanks!
That's a champ Lee! :) Very nice job of converting a gnarly piece of round into a new tool.
That material makes a mess of the lathe, but at the price ($0), I can afford a little clean up time.
I got some 1045 that looks just like that.
I cant listen to that god awful pounding anymore. im out of here !
Maybe it can also be used as a poor man's dovetail cutter
Great video! I was from a long time looking for a pm727 video this one is one of the best .
Perfect fly cutter build Lee .. !! Thumbs up man , Enjoyed .. I need to make one now ..LOL!!
Thanks!
hello lee. what is the relief angle on your left hand tool bit? is it an 11 or 7 degree angle?
It sounds like you have a house full of kids jumping off the couch an up an down on the floor ! its loud !
nice job Lee, your putting the pressure on for me to complete projects, ;-p
Tighten up, my friend. :-)

Thanks, and thanks again for stopping by.
Nice video Lee. I will be making one of these when I get my machine shop set up in a few weeks.
What model PM lathe are you using?
PM-727M - It's in the description. :-)
Thank you,
I saw the milling machine,. I was asking about the lathe.
R. Steven Lang OH boy, I need to slow down when I'm reading the comments. 😜 The lathe is the PM 1127 LB.
Thank you
love the mister on the lathee...did you make that? really nice
Muto Bom ótima ferramenta...parabens

Nice.
RPM?
May I ask where you bought or made the fly cutter tool with the insert? I can't find them on the internet anywhere.
Mark Harris Search eBay for metal lathe left hand turning tool. Mine was part of a 5 piece set of turning tools. Mine is a 12 mm (1/2”) set.
Thanks
Yeah it works.
What coolant are you running through your mister?

grntitan1 Thanks for the feedback. I don't like it being clear - may give the Kool Mist brand next.

Hi does the cool mist make much mess?
Makes a big mess. In fact I got rid of it and installed flood coolant.
What kind of mist did you use?
Thanks for sharing and posting!!
Randyrru Rhino Thanks, I enjoy being able to share my little shop.
lee nice work.
Thanks Robert
