Nice work Adam. When you were setting up at the beginning, I was wondering why you just didn't use pins in the teeth and the center it that way. ( yes, I do a lot of milling at work ). The sprocket turned out great. To the folks commenting on the cut width when it's bolted back together, if it turns out to be a problem, a spacer the same width as the cutter can be made. I like that K&T more and more every time you use it. Jeff

The parallel to jazz is that so much prep goes into a performance that by the time of the show, you just take it on home. The hard work has already been done. I went to a jazz show last night and it was perfect in all regards. The pros had some university students sit in for a few songs. They did great. Not a one of them would have any competence whatever with machining. But they have put thousands of hours into honing their skills into something approaching precision.

Adam just a suggest, but I would have put clamps on the inside as well, if you think about it, once you cut threw the right side completely, the only thing holding it was the outside clamps on to left outside, it could has pulled up when you came across to cut the left side... "Im no expert" just saying... Also, It was unlikely it would "spring and bind because of the size of your saw, but always need to be prepared for that as well... Nice Brian F.
@jacquesperry11568 жыл бұрын
I don't see how the first pre cut does anything to help with the in-feed in the direction it was cutting from the bottom side of the sprocket at full depth, now if it was climb milling I could see it helping. Great videos though Adam! I have picked up a lot of good tips from you 😉

+Abom79 Nice one Adam, those Niagara's were a deal were they not? I took advantage of some of the sizes below 2", I am set for 2" roughers. Great work on cutting that part in half. Horizontal cutters are great a certain jobs, and this was one of them. I didn't catch what rpm you were running at, but looked like around 60, so with a typical 4" tooth count of 24 you were right in the ballpark for a .0015 to .002 chip per tooth with 2 to 3 ipm, at around 65 sfm. That's a really nice, conservative, setup for that type of cutter, they tend to be fragile and blow up if you push them too hard.
@bcbloc028 жыл бұрын

It's normal to push into the cut, it's how I was taught. I don't like climb milling unless it's nesessary. On real thin parts it works fine, or when making light cuts. For heavy milling you have to have a backlash eliminator, which the K&T does. 😎
