Great job on the blade! What was the formula for T/C tapping you used? I'm still messing around trying to find the sweet spot and still finding I'm having issues. My guess for my mill is an inaccurate RPM; i need to get me a tach and test it out.
Thanks! I have been using tormachs CNC guidlines page 14, www.tormach.com/uploads/31/TD10077_CNC_Tapping_Guidelines_1013B-pdf.html I think this is 300rpm and the plunge gets calced out automatically with thread pitch and rpm. Uses the formula above. I also have long hand tapping post someone created for Fusion 360/HSMworks. Adds the delay and stuff. I haven't had any problems with it so far besides my own newb mistakes.
Love the crashes... it's like watching a train wreck at times. Can't look away! As you know I too know your pain all too well! Tapping gets me often. I find that material to material differences are hard to compensate for at times. Form taps have been my friend. I like your knife design. What steel are you using?
That looks like a great outdoors/utility knife style.
Nice video man, i just got mu tormach and im plannig to do knifes, being a lawyer not knowing shht about design but here i am !😂😅
awesome crashes at the end! Those made me cringe a bit haha.
Was having a rough day! hahaha! Breaking her in!
Man, talk about "walking"! It's amazing how long it took for that bit to break.
I agree!! Wow!!!
Tell me about it! I was in such awwww I couldn't even move for the E stop!

Yes, the joys of learning cnc! Thanks! this one was D2 steel.
Are you making and selling those knives?
Kicker700 This is my first one. Yes I will be selling once I get it finished. I plan on making many more.
