Jade has been used for various uses for thousands of years. From Jewelry to tools, but is is hard enough to machine metal?

Anything crystalline that isn't a monocrystal will shake itself apart when attempting to cut anything hard using typical feed speeds for standard bits. You would likely be able to go much further with the jade endmill by running it 1/10th as fast.

Hear me out. It's not how fast the job gets done. If the tool kept cutting. Steel razors are still inferior to obsidian glass knives in terms of edges and sharpness but obviously obsidian as a crystalline slush formed in a natural volcanic pyroclastic event would result in random cracks . I guess what I'm saying don't give up on this horse. A synthetic jade run at appropriate speed with the right cutting lubricant and monitoring the piezoelectric effect to detect if the crystal is near its fracture limit and possibly possibly. Mill out incredibly accurate stone and ceramic parts using a synthetic jade bit . But requires a system to monitor the temperature and electrical conductivity of the crystal as a signal for fatigue. Possibly even a custom chuck holder thats refrigerated because the nature of that crystal like quartzes is that it dosent make clean cleavage peices it shatters out into deathshards of chaos .. I bet a quartz bit would behave the same way also.

I work with jade. I’ve machined it but never tried to cut with it. It’s pretty strong due to the crystal structure and is 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, so it’s hard. But the sample used here isn’t the best. You need to try with a piece that doesn’t have that multicolored structure. That’s not as solid as you would want. It would work a “little” better with a less pretty sample that’s just pure green. Rounded flute tips would also work much better. I would also recommend a shorter, much stubbier bit.

@@madmurdoch2000 jade has traditionally been used for hammers. It has what’s called a twinned crystal structure which makes it very tough.

I feel like a rounded tip would break easier unless no plunging or milling with the tip was done. Even HSS/carbide tools that are ball nose break/dull more easily due to the whole "essentially 0 RPM at the very center thats trying to cut". That being said, i would like to see your example though of good pure jade as opposed to the marbling like impurities. Ever since i learned i can make my own rubies in my garage, its been on my project list to build a hydraulic chamber to try and make a ruby lathe insert tool. I feel like that would have a greater chance at surviving just given what direction the forces would be in. Seeing that jade end mill break in half tells me it really just couldn't take the flexing from that cut. I think he could have gave it more of a fighting chance to actually cut. He basically stacked everything against it by taking what looks like at least a 15 to 20 thou depth of cut and doing climb milling. At least see if it would survive like a 5 thou DOC while convential milling

@melgross 4 ай бұрын

@@kylewellman402 rounded tips soften the initial jump in cutting force the edge sees. That’s different from a ball mill, which isn’t what I meant. I’m talking about maybe a 0.05” radius at the flute tip. I find that whether HSS or carbide, those last longer. But also, you’re right about the depth of cut. I was going to mention that before, but didn’t. I don’t know what rpm a jade cutter could withstand, but the higher, the better. I don’t see that he tried to determine what the cutter could do. He just took some moderate average setting and went with it.

@kylewellman402 4 ай бұрын

@@melgross oh gotcha. Like similar to the nose radius on an insert bit as opposed to a sharp nose. Hopefully I'm thinking if that right now. Maybe they should try it again and go to brass first instead of aluminum too. Aluminum is so gummy to cut if you dont have a proper coating meant for aluminum. I seen where when they were inspecting the end mill after it broke there was aluminum imbedded along basically every cutting surface. Im sure these guys at Titan are aware of that. Maybe that is why they chose aluminum for the torture of it 🤔

It's all about vibration and tool's resonance frequency , and giving the tool enough time to dampen the vibration, For example glass has very low natural frequency for small stuff between 200-500 Hz Steel has much higher frequency in the KHz range for the same size . Increasing number of flutes decreases overall fluctuation in vibration , but since the flutes are thinner the natural frequency decreases making it more brittle, . For example a glass sheets crack easily a glass cube will not crack easily because it has more girth and more volume to dissipate energy To increase the probability of success using glass or jade feed speed must be ultra slow and maybe make the flute channels narrower to allow for more girth to withstand vibrations also increasing fluting angles will help make forces and vibrations more axially aligned (radial vibrations break tools ) . Tips High helix angles High number of flutes Slow feed rate Narrow channels Maybe bulkier or conical tools

Geologist here. There are two types of jade. The rarest jade is Jadeite Jade, most of it is from Myanmar. The green variety of jadeite jade is called kosmochlor and it is extremely expensive. However, what you have there is very likely nephrite jade, unless your jade cutting tool was more expensive than the machine you used to break it. Nephrite is known as Pounamu by the Maori people of New Zealand. Nephrite is tougher than jadeite jade, and is twice as tough as glass. It is also tougher than most ceramics.There's large deposits of nephrite in Canada, where most is mined. "In regard to the other mechanical properties of jade, the lower elastic modulus of nephrite is almost certainly a result of its lower density; however, its magnitude is still comparable to commercial ceramics and about twice that of common glass." and "The strengths of the two jades exceed most commercially available ceramics;however, they are not comparable to the ultra-high strength of hot'pressed oxides and nitrides used for cutting tools and turbine vanes." Bradt, R.C., Newnham, R.E. and Biggers, J.V., 1973. The toughness of jade. American Mineralogist: Journal of Earth and Planetary Materials. Collecting Pounamu permitted on only two rivers in south Island New Zealand, the Taramakau and Arahura rivers, and only Maori, the Kaitiaki R nanga of the Ngāi Tahu tribe, are allowed to collect the stone (Guardians of the Ngāi Tahu). The only place where non-Maori can legally collect Pounamu is on the west coast beaches of south island, New Zealand, but the stone is very rare. I was told that some shops in New Zealand sell Canada nephrite jade as Pounamu, due to the scarcity of the native stone. So most nephrite jade these days, outside of New Zealand, is from British Columbia, Canada where huge boulders of nephrite jade can be found. So your nephrite jade is most likely Canadian.

Maybe it would have had a better chance if the milling cutter was used for finishing and not as thick layer shavings. I'm referring to the direction of rotation of the milling cutter because it was rejected by the material, that's why the break in the milling cutter appeared faster, plus the speed of the aluminum movement was too high... at least twice as slow and it had a chance to reach his end.

Jade is cool. Its like Marble but better. I wish I knew the comparison between them more intimately.

You tried to cut solid piece of metal with a Jade stone endmill it was gonna break but maybe concrete or bricks may just cut fine instead since they are just right in-between the line of solid as steel but softish like wood & plastic. You basically gave a strong enough material like Block of aluminum or any similar metal for the Jade endmill to cut-rub and vibrate like crazy on letting all the vibration from metal cutting to go right through the Jade endmill and crack it through inside out. Maybe if you make another Jade endmill drill a hole in the center of the cylinder through it's length drill it's center out and add a metal pin or long screw through the middle of the Jade endmill to dampen all the vibration going through it and increase it's sheer strength of the overall jade endmill. This method of putting a metal pin or screw through the center of a soft material dealing with high torque or high sheer strength loads also works for 3d Printed FDM & Resin printed parts especially for 3D printed tyre wheels that deal with high torque output of electric motors right into tyres which without a metal pin/screw will just sheer the center of the printed wheel making the whole wheel useless.

Aluminium grabs like no other metal I've ever experienced cutting.

Nephrite jade has a fibrous grain structure, contributing to its extreme toughness. I had hopes for the alum cut, but it is still a natural stone material. 😅
