Nice job Billy, I'm moving shop so please hurry up with part 2. I would brush the cutting fluid on the part rather than the cutter, the lubrication will then last the length of the cut and the brush won't get caught on the tool. Please stop hitting the edge finder. Did you compensate for the 5/8" cutter by moving the full 0.625", usually the compensation from the centre is 1/2 the diameter ~ 0.3125". Is the old smaller vice a Kurt style? if so, one jaw could be moved to hold a larger width.
Hi 23over7, Thanks for the input. Working on part 2 right now.. As for brushing the cutting fluid. I do brush the cutting fluid on the part, in addition to the cutter. In fact, you can see that in several places in the video. Also, I NEVER put the brush between the cutter and the part, and "drag" the brush on the cutter so it doesn't get caught up. I put the fluid on the cutter to clean off chips. Mostly a habit from doing so much aluminum to keep it from chip welding. On the edge finder, I hit the edge finder to make it easier to see when it smooths out, so I can go slow and get the location better. Makes it much easier for me to see when it flicks of to the side. It's also why I tend to use the .500 edge finder.. more mass and larger, makes easier to see. I don't like the .200" ones so much. I don't recall what I did with the 5/8" end mill. Some of that was edited out of the video, I'm sure I was on the center on the left side, moved over 4" + 1/2 of the diameter of the cutter so my part was 4" when I finished. Sometimes while your milling and talking, your mouth goes faster than your brain. :) Yes, I might have been able to use the older kurt style vise by swapping the jaws around. However, the ends of the stock was a bit rounded and was concerned that I wouldn't get enough purchase on the ends,. It also have me an excuse to try out the new one, plus it has the vise stop.. Someone lost my generic vise stop. I need to pick up a new one. Thanks, Billy

@@sierraspecialtyauto7049 On amazon they have a image of the specs further down. Supports 20,000 rpm Dynamic Load 1,550 Lbs Static Load 830 Lbs I calculated 8 x 830lbs = 6640lbs I then de-rated by 2 bearings (In case only 3 sets are touching) so 6640 - 1660 = 4980lbs I then used a 80% safety margin. 4980 * .80 = 3984 So, I'm saying they're rated for 4000lbs or 2 Tons.
Hello Billy,
Good to have you back on our screens... Good start to the project. See you in Part 2.
Cheers.
Paul,,
This is a great project. It will be super helpful when moving something heavy, like a lathe! Keep up the good content!
Looks like they will be totally unbreakable. Good one Billy.
Glad to see a video Billy, your off to a nice start. Gary

I have this project on my list. Billy. I'll be following along. What bearings are you going to use?

@@KnoxMachining Wonder what the weight rating is on those? I can't find it in a quick search.
@@sierraspecialtyauto7049 On amazon they have a image of the specs further down.
Supports 20,000 rpm
Dynamic Load 1,550 Lbs
Static Load 830 Lbs
I calculated 8 x 830lbs = 6640lbs
I then de-rated by 2 bearings (In case only 3 sets are touching) so
6640 - 1660 = 4980lbs
I then used a 80% safety margin.
4980 * .80 = 3984
So, I'm saying they're rated for 4000lbs or 2 Tons.

Oh good, he has something heavy to throw at me next time I put wood on the Bridgebort.
