I saw this comment before the video started and i died when it came in frame

U mean a hex wrench?

@@kylet9969 same thing

No, it's normal sized, Tony just shrank.

I heard he got it from Allen himself

ha!

This Old Tony when’s the surface gauge coming?

@@ThisOldTony Surface gauge?

This Old Tony surface gauge?

@@ThisOldTony So, that gear up yet? 2020 is the year of the Surface Gauge...

haha!

You need to find new people to subscribe to.

Justin Bell no, that's a great position to be in. It's the same case with me. AvE, Clickspring and Tony are my three top channels

Tony and SNS.

Guds777 Who is SNS, what am I missing on the KZfaqs?

If those are growth rings;He should use a circular saw with appropriate blade that away he would get an even cut across the grain.

Yeah, ironwood.

Yea wtf haha

I can usually knock 1 out in an hour to myself😂😂

Thanks Earl!

I truely believe TOT is the highest quality instructional video of any kind I have seen anywhere on youtube. I could not agree more. I'm not a machinist, but these videos fascinating. Even my wife, who is not mechanically minded, enjoys watching these videos because of the great production value and sense of humor. Keep up the good work!!!

I agree! Found TOT while searching for CNC Router videos and haven't looked back. Easy to listen as he walks us through the videos and amazing what I've learned to date. Keep up the great work Tony!

he just needs to make a few slugs for taofledermaus and it will triple over night...

omg yes pls do this tony

TOT and Clickspring belong in the youtuber's hall of fame.

thank you!

Another thing is that it is easy to grind a custom tool for a flycutter. I did that once to make a large threadmill to cut a strange profile multi-start plastic cap thread. Also shop made gear cutting is often done with one, too.

Since he mentioned the automatic variable cutting speed based on the diameter modification, I'm really tempted to do it to my lathe, it's running a VFD so it would be pretty easy

It must be a weird feeling on a manual lathe to have it running up as you face something, LOL!

I ran a manual Weiler Practicant VC for some time - It had the constanc speed feature...real scary when the machine turned up to 3000rpm when facing something... (Yes, the max. speed could be limited if the setup did not allow such high rpms..like a offcenter clamped part on a face plate)

I assume you'd have to feed the VFD positional information from your DROs?

You would, and your control could likely be doing a zero on the centre point, setting the desired speed and a maximum RPM you would let it go to, maybe a percentage of the initial RPM? To stop whoopsies

Thanks Brad!

Although that's the correct number, shapers don't really like carbide / insert tooling. Good catch.

Thanks Johnathan!

I think Acer? made one or two but I'm not surprised to hear the Monarch did too.

Mills are more powerful than time, you know this.

He'd have had to catch and freeze some before winter.

What like the kind that are on a man’s pants?

@@orppranator5230 those are weener cutters.

with enough skill

ha!

Thanks.. and I think that's the same formula, just solve for RPM since speed is what you already know (target speed).. assume pi=3 and there are 12 inches per foot and you'll get the formula I used. If you're metric the constants will look different, but same formula.

I've slowly started moving over to almost all insert tooling.. mostly because I find it cheap at flea markets :) -- but I'm glad I started with HSS and turn to it when I have a finicky problem to solve. What one learns sharpening their own HSS translates into all the other tooling that's out there.

High speed steel is greatly preferred by the Dutch and Scottish!

Oh yes you will but your list will live forever.:>)

hah!

Not made in Germany....

Stefan Gotteswinter everything is crap except made in germany

Ceazar Carr its more or less a face mill however it uses carbide tool bit to do the cutting. It's meant to get a precise and clean finish compared to you traditional face mill. It's usually only for your finishing passes not for roughing.

***** Thanks!

Fly cutters predate face mills, and they were meant to just take your regular HSS tooling. Running them at excessive speeds can cause marring, as they aren't balanced.

Face mills remove material faster than fly cutters because they have more separate cutting points in contact with the material at the same time - and require that much more power to remove that material for the same reason. Because of that, a lower power machine like most home gamers can afford, can use a fly cutter with a long reach to finish a much wider area in one pass than the much smaller facemill it could drive using the same power. Fly cutters can work with any 'lathe' style cutters, including easily/cheaply sharpened HSS bits. The low power requirement, low cutter cost, and ease of sharpening really suits the garage / shed / basement shop. The tradeoff is speed, which generally isn't a priority in that kind of context. In my home shop I have a 2" carbide insert facemill I use for work small enough to cover in one pass, and for rough facing my often rusty salvaged materials. Other than that I use a fly cutter because the cost to me is really only the time it takes to keep my collection of HSS lathe bits sharpened.

Also it's not bad for finishing to have just one cutting edge, because there won't be any height differences between the cutters
