The dimensions in the drawing are from the further end. I wanted to keep that side against the stop. Probably not necessary but i felt like it would be more accurate to do it that way, not having to take in account the length of the pieces. The trochoidal toolpath may take a bit longer here than slotting with a big end mill, but that makes it possible to use a small and cheap tool. Tool life will also be much longer with the constant chip thickness and no rubbing on the entering side. It's a waste of money to use a big and long tool when you can do the same job with a much smaller one. I never claim to be right with my choices, they just are the choices that felt the best at that time to me :-).
sunppaa. Right choice for you with this job as it turned out all Ok. Thank you for responding with the explanation , I can now understand why you took this route . many ways to achieve the correct results .
Always enjoy your video,s including this one. I try my best not to point out the obvious but??? When you were milling the slots it was a little bit of a nervous time watching this and if it did not already come up in the comments i would have been surprised. As already pointed out you made it work but. I could not be comfortable telling someone else to do it this way. I understand where your thinking comes from in regards to your reference point, but the amount of material you were holding in the vice as you say it was a little sketchy. Thanks again for the video,s and happy to see you growing in your business. Regards Peter.
Nice job , cheers .
Why do the milling on the end that’s not In the vice?
Is there a reason you didn't mill the end tight in the vice jaws and using a bigger sized cutter? It seems a lot of work for such a simple job.
Good question .perhaps sunppaa will respond, I assume he has a good reason for what seems an unconventional way of going about it .
