You are learning !!
Thank you
Top Job, Sir 👌
Thank you
Nice work.
Thank You
information, as you mentioned take your time with those angle cutters is key. I run them so slow that one pas takes at least 1min for 5cm. Then those cutters wont go dull as fast they dull but not that fast even for they are soldered carbid. Nice thing you build there =)
Thank you
Make sure you have at the very least a 1mm flat on the 2 external corners to clear the inevitable internal radii left by the dovetail cutter. This will ensure you are not locating just on the corners, any grit will quickly pick up in those areas.
Thanks for the advice 👍
Nice recovery! I think the semi-circular feature is clearance except for the raised boss that retains the "lead screw" so your method seemed fine to me. The fit is really between a slot in the screw to that bosses thickness to minimize backlash in the adjustment, I expect.
Yes your right, thank you 👍
It's a bummer when you break a cutter, but you turned out a great part. Mine ended up with a gibb strip in it 😁
That was in the back of my mind if I cocked it up 😂
I thought it was only me that had bad luck with cutters. Job done.onward and upward.😊
It happens to all of us 😂
Well, that was a callenging part to make. Nice.
Thank you
Excellent, a well detailed, and how you explained to making your parts...
Thank you
Yes those dovetail cutters are great but slow and coolant is the way to go. Nice job on the slides
I found that out 😂 it was my first dovetail 👍
Your dovetail cutter grabbed because you were CLIMB cutting at the time. The backlash in your x direction allowed the cutter to grab, Yes you could state the issue as too fast of feed, but even slower speeds, this can happen. Especially with dovetail cutter because of the amount of cutter engagement at one time, it is safer to cut were the cutter wont grab the material and lunge forward and taking up that backlash of your lead screw. Nice fit in the end though.
Thank you very much for the advice, somebody else said the same thing 👍👍
Very nice work sir. You make a nice attachment there. Very interesting.
Thank you
Some very difficult machining operations there. Very bad luck on the dovetail cutter and mill gears. In the end an excellent part, and a perfect dovetail fit. Cheers Nobby
Thanks Nobby, Yes it was a bit costly but lesson learnt 👍 ATB Mark
I cringed a little when the dovetail cutter caught and broke. I've had that happen myself ironically on the same type of job. I'm glad it turned out nice for you. I am rather curious as to how the tool holders are to be secured. It looks rather thin at the edge for a grub screw. Is the perhaps a pin that goes through the middle somehow?
You are correct there is a pin and grub screw in the centre which means you can only fit one end at a time 👍
How do You meauser the dovetails to get such perfekt fit?
I got them close and then I trial fit after every pass 👍
The final comment asked for us to hit the subscrube button to enable you to grow the channel so that you can 'keep making these videos'. How does that help? It suggests that if I don't hit the subscribe button you won't be able to continue, is that the case?
If people subscribe I know people are interested in what I am doing, but if no one is interested then there is no point in me taking the time and effort involved in recording and editing the videos. No one is forcing you to subscribe it’s just a token of appreciation. Thank You
Don’t climb using a Dove tail on a small mill. They just aren’t rigid enough. Do all your roughing in a conventional cut.
Thanks for the advice, it was my first dovetail ever, lesson learnt 👍👍
Taking some metal off of, on on the job.😢
Sorry I don’t know what you mean 🤷🏻♂️
