Hi, I'm Mike Corliss from Tormach
and today i'm going to demo
the Tormach SuperFly Fly Cutter
This guy right here.
We are going to do some cutting on some sixty sixty one aluminum
and piece of
ten forty five hot rolled steel
and see what kind of mess we can make.
A couple of things I want to point out
before we start
making a mess over here is that we have the ring light on over here
it does a good job of putting some light
on our work piece
Um, we are going to use the Fog Buster on here.
You'll notice that when i'm cutting the aluminum you'll see a real fine mist of
coolant coming up
when I'm cutting the steel I just use an air blast..
Sometimes if you are using coolant when you are cutting steel
you'll get thermal shock in your carbide inserts and that fractures them and then they're no good
The other thing,
if you can see back here
There's a Y axes bellows cover
It keeps the chips from building up
on the Y axes bellows. It makes it easier to clean it off quick.
Then the chips are
right here on the bellows cover, cover
just one pass and those are gone.
Just going to be doing
one thousand RPM
Take the first pass at twenty five thousands deep and ten inches
a minute
That's this pass here.
Drop down another five thou, and feed back at five inches per minute
for the finish pass.
Those uh,
steel chips are very hot. They look hot.
They're a good color though.
Let me grab some.
Aren't they burning?
But you want the heat in the chips
when you are cutting steel
and you want them to be a nice straw color like that.
And that was using the Tormach superfly fly cutter. It does a really good
job
It has a high metal remove rate
You can really whip the material off. And then you take a skim pass
You get a really nice finish.
We have been using them for a while and we really like them. We use them all the time.
If you need a cutter you can rough and finish with
a
for doing your face milling
try the super fly.
