You have no idea how much I have needed this! Thank you so much!

@viscache1 3 жыл бұрын

I was with you most of the way..but I got good results grinding an oversized cutter to the precise angle and shape of the actual bullet nose. This means 1 cut, one perfectly balanced mold. Great video! It got me started and forced me to practice correct engineering strategy and planning.

@MrRichinil 10 жыл бұрын

MrRaynemaker , To make the grooves here is what is happening . First you bore the hole a little under size . Then you push the cutter into the hole . Now that you have the hole the right depth you use the cross feed and move the cutter sideways to cut the lube grooves . Then you have to center the cutter before you take it from the bore . That is how the grooves are cut .

thanks for the info

@SONOFAZOMBIE2025 9 жыл бұрын

how do you know how far to move the cross feed? It seems like this is very important, cause even if it is dragged a few thou too much, the bullet produced will be too big.

@@SONOFAZOMBIE2025 better to have the bullet oversized, than under. You swage them through a sizing die to uniform them more (gas always gets caught in the cooling metal, that causes balancing issues, swaging the bullets collapses the pockets and makes them better balanced). Sort by appearance (messed up bullets don't shoot well), Sort by weight (equal mass), and then swage them to uniform them. In any case, you would have to decide that when you design your bullet. Mold making is no different than machining any precision part, you have to have schematics and follow them meticulously, to get a good result.

Wow, that was cool as a cucumber. I'm a machinist but, never made a mold. That's not how I imagined it. Brilliant!

@gordoncouger2799 11 жыл бұрын

That's a very clever way to solve the problem of cutting 2 sides the same. I have made very good cutter from low carbon steel that won't take a temper by case hardening with Cherry Red/Kasinte cutting 100 or more parts in Aluminum. For this cutter a file is as fast as a mill if you have a roller jig to file it flat on the lathe. With the filing jig there is only the one set up in the lathe. Very nice work, Gordon

@Flachzange1337 11 жыл бұрын

The cutter is made from drill rod and the bullet mold itself is made from Aluminium. But you could also use brass and HSS for the cutter. Drill rod or HSS is aviable on Ebay.

@Flachzange1337 12 жыл бұрын

Hi, the mold was made for a rifle with 11.62mm in diameter but this method should work with any caliber. You can also cut the bullet form in half by using a simple hacksaw and file it smooth afterwards. You may need to resharpen the cutter after a few cuts to get a better finish, which can also be done with a file.

Well done! I think i would also have cut a relief on the back of the cutter to prevent drag and better chip clearing, but you can't argue with results.

HSC is ok, if the drill rod is not hardened. If the bullet mold is made out of soft Aluminium then it is not necessesary to use drill rod, i have even used some low grade steel for the cutter and it worked ok.

Have you tried putting a milling cutter in the lathe chuck and setting up your work piece in the tool holder? You can do a surprising amount of milling work in a lathe if you can get your head around the set up with perhaps a jig to hep you hold things squarely :-)

Yes you are right but with this setup in the lathe i would have been a huge mess. Not just the cutter and mold but also the person in front of the lathe would have been covered with cutting fluid. In addition to that it was only aluminium. See my new video with a "cherry cutter" which works a lot better!

Ja, gibt es, dafür benötigt man aber einen zentrisch spannenden Schraubstock und die Ständerbohrmaschine sollte sehr stabil sein. Der Prozess wird "cherry cutting bullet mold" genannt. Dieser ist aber eher führ kurze Geschosse geeignet.

Maybe not have the cutter in the full depth when doing the grease grooves. make a separate cutter for the point and drill to depth before or after the other cutter.
