How you doing everybody Randy Richard in the shop over here on the Lance lathe and
what I have in here is one of these hey Robin Renzetti will know what this is
and a few others John Sanders would know what this is this is a tormach
machinable tool holder whatever you want it this parts hardened up here and this
parts that been annealed and so it's machinable and what I've been asked to
do is could I make a set of dovetail cutters so they'll just go right in a
tormach so we're gonna plan is here I'm gonna make a large one and a small one
how did the a little couple of these now it's not gonna have a super long shank
on it cuz it's only about 40 millimeters here about into three quarters or so
forty millimeters yeah about an inch or something like that so yeah about well
inch and 5/8 of an inch and five-eighths and these things are an inch and a half
in diameter so I've got it in the six jaw I was gonna do a call it but I think
a figure I could probably get a even better if I just do it in the six jaw
cuz this is an adjustable Chuck so I've got a dialed in here and we're looking
at less lessen barely see the needle even move so less than a half a
thousandth for sure there so it's just just it's almost like measuring the
surface roughness is so so probably the best I'm gonna get right there and we're
gonna machine that into a duck tail cutter
I think that's pretty good so what the plan is gonna be is we're gonna want to
turn this down to the outside diameter of the head of the cutter and then I'll
come in and have to cut down the shank portion and then probably the last part
would be the angle we have 266,000 scum off of it
that's nice it's real nice
now turning it 864 rpm 40,000 dip to cut so eighty thousand on
the diameter right there and off the checklist speed five
situate any
but we're just going up to the trading floor
ready $50 here
thank you
pretty good 1.23 one so that's that's good it's a little bit warm and so
shrink down a little bit he'll be just fine
I painted it red for Christmas I a little hard to see but I scribed a line
around it right there and that's a six hundred thousand the and they'll give me
room to cut in there for the angle right the 30-degree angle would need to put on
there we'll cut the rest down to five eighths ask me why five eighths well
five eight gives is just enough to give you full insert edge on this angle
that's why five eighths and it gives you just enough clearance that's a really
it's kind of the optimum shank size and it's plenty heavy enough for all the
vibration and everything
changeover to ADN MD get in here and I have a 30 degree angle
on there now so I know about where I'm gonna be
get down there almost there so about the smallest part right where I'm at about
3/4 of
way that's a practice cut I know if I have to make a finish cut at 10,000 so I
think that we just find it looks like
I've been a little small with carbide radius new tool here I'm going to put a
radius in this end
I really like this tools and it's a notch Ian's not not you insert type tool
but it has so it has two ends and nice little radius on there and it's great
for reaching and doing things like that I did a little a little buff up on it
and I think we're we're good I trade to come out just came out a lot better and
I thought it was gonna come out ha that's what it started with
now we'll turn this one into a small one it's gonna be the same process the air
popped it out pretty cool pretty cool I'm gonna engrave my logo on the end
it's still black from the original finish whatever they put on there well I
failed to film the milling part of it but the milling part is the same as all
the other milling parts as far as dovetail cutters go I did film the
turning so hey I got that part but here's the finished products 1/2 inch
shank 5/8 shank all one piece turned from the tormach machinable tool holder
they call it a blank tool holder these were bought from little machine shop
part number two six nine eight and then I turned him into a dovetail cutter this
is going to Scott over in Hawaii hopefully like some I think they came
out really really nice very very good idea I think for CNC machine at least
you know it's already set ready to go
hey pretty cool it was his idea wasn't mine and he he sent me the tool holders
and we got it done for him I think that's a cool idea even engraved um he
engraved him on the end and everything just like the other like all the other
dovetail cutters I make right these do take a bit of extra work if anybody else
wants something like this let me know and I'll give you a price on it
so thank you and thank you Scott
