Nice job Tom. Questions on the hardening. What kind of oil do you quench the piece of steel you are hardening and what temperature do you heat it up to before you quench it? Thing cuts that aluminum like butter.
+🔥Ramsey Customs - turbocobra Thanks Gary. I use HSS cutters most of the time. I am very "old school" in practice. Its rare and only usually on a special situation that ill use a carbide end mill or drill. I have made probably 35 of these cutters and the little 3/16 4 flute HSS end mill is still sharp and leaving a nice square edge in the slot and O1 is pretty tough stuff. The secret is to NOT get it hot!
Very cool stuff Tom. I'm stoked to learn about the different tools and processes you use to make parts as a machinist
you make a good tool tom, now Ive see the video I copy your piece thank for the video tom
Love watching old school manual machinists like you! It's a dying art, to bad! Loved the video
Thanks!.................I appreciate your support!
Excellent work, and exactly what I need to make. Thanks for sharing this!

TFS "thanks for sharing, was thinking a while back I would like one of these for my Proxxon mf70 and looks like I've found one :)
Oddly enough I was wondering if you would mark the side with the chamfer tool heh... Now I want one of these fly cutters for my lil CNC machine....
