Making a diamond tipped flycutter
Вставка

- I've got alot of brass parts that needs to have a perfect mirror finish, so I made this flycutter that help a lot to minimize wet sanding afterwards.
This channel is about my two companies and some of the projects I'm doing. One of the companies is for R&D, prototyping, and product development for customers. I also have several inventions of my own that are under development.
The other company is for designing and building bespoke/custom furniture. Most of the designs are my own, but I also build according to customers designs. Thanks to some of my machines, I've got a lot more creative freedom when I'm creating my own designs.
My workshop is well-equipped, with the two main workhorses being a Mazak Integrex multi-OP CNC millturn/lathe and a Haas VF-3 CNC mill. I've also got plenty of equipment for both TIG and MIG/MAG welding and sheet metal work, plus general fabrication.
A website is under construction, and I'll add a link here when it's up! - Наука та технологія
Definitely, Diamond inserts for that pristine finish.
Not cheap to buy, but well worth the money when you see the end results 👌
I'm guessing PCD for the insert ?
One of those videos you need to watch till the end 🤔
3D Printed toolholder ??
Short stem for mounting the Face cutting tool ??
Drilling into a Milling toolholder ??
It all came together well at the end.
Thanks for taking the time to edit and post this video 👍
Yeah don't want go give away the ending without watching the whole movie :)
Yeah it's PCD. At least they last very long, if they are treated correctly.
I enjoy every video u post, they have the right enough of everything:) hopefully we will get some more glimpses about the car in the reflection:)) looking forward for the next video!!
Thanks :) Might make a video about my car the future
New sub here, thanks for sharing
Now try with a mcd insert. Max rpm. 0.07mm feed pr. Tooth and 0.08mm depth of cut ( that's what I use and get a mirror finish straight out of the machine )
Is the surface finish a big different between PCD and MCD? I've never tried it. Guessing they are quite a lot more expensive?
@@Rydermanmakes well from my own personal experience yes. but your personal result may not be as much of a diffrence as i had
since the mcd is ecen sharper then the pcd.
if you want i can send you a picture of a part i used it on at work straight out of the machine ( mighe even be able to send a video useing it
Very cool. But can’t this finish be achieved with just HHS or a decent carbide insert ?
Thanks. For a year, I experimented a lot with all kinds of cutting tools, speeds, feeds and materials. The best I've ever gotten before using this PCD insert, was that large facemill you see at 2:00 with only 1 insert. I still had to start the wet sanding at 400 grit instead of the 3000 that I do now.
Damn! How tough are the flies where you are?
Oh, they are brutal!
What was the reason for making the cutter swing so much larger than the width of the part?
It was both for versatility, since I think I'll be using it quite often in the future, but I also wanted it big since the surface looks different in the middle compared to where the tool tangents in and out of the cut.
It's a big sacrifice giving up the stability and huge increase in performance of an appropriate size face mill. Modern ground button inserts in precision pockets with multiple teeth engaged easily give a stunning sub micron finish on Brass. See my demonstration milling 28 parts for the finish available.
@@machinists-shortcuts Yeah, but I've got 2 facemills in the machine for regular situations. I do get a nice surface finish with a polished insert, but its much much more work with the wet sanding. This flycutter is only used for taking of the last 20 micrometers, when I intend to polish the workpiece afterwards.
@@Rydermanmakes If you ever get the chance to borrow a button insert face mill, give it a try, or look out for when they are on offer.
I use various grades of scotchbrite round pads on a random orbital sander, finishing with a non abrasive pad with polishing compounds before buffing. For smaller parts I often hold the sander in the vise and move the parts on the pads.
@@machinists-shortcuts You do that in brass? What grade of inserts are you running for that?
Liked & subbed
