Fly cutting is one of my favorite things to do on a lathe. It's simply therapeutic watching a rough surface become flat and reflective. Nothing beats it. I like how you made your fly cutter adjustable and not out of a solid piece of steel (which is better for rigidity, but a bit limited in use). Great video.
@@capto8784 Oddly too many people seem to refuse to use the free and basic engineering tables that all all over the net and take seconds to find for whatever size, steel type and grade of bolt used. Instead they always seem to use the eyeball guesstimate of "That seems dangerous". Properly balanced there's almost no shear loads involved other than the low single point cutting forces your supposed to be taking with light finishing passes all fly cutters are designed for anyway. Two M6 screws with that non threaded portion positioned correctly are likely capable of somewhere well over a ton shear load before they become dangerous. Yes you should always design with an ample safety margin, and again for the light loads this tool will see you already have it.
That is a lot of repeated impact force to put on the side of those 2 screws and if they do break there is a good chance that both screws would break within a few revolutions of each other, turning that into a high-velocity projectile.......
Si le pudieras unos pernos en ambos lados de los tornillos sujetadores....le ayudaría mucho al golpeteo al momento de ir cortando...todo el golpeteo lo llevan los tornillos .... saludos Excelente!!!! Video!
I don’t understand why a small number of people feel the need to tilt the head onto their arbors of DIY fly cutters when the majority of DIY, if not companies only tilt the bottom half of the heads, keeping the top half perpendicular to the shaft/arbor. Though matching process practically live by the code, “there’s more than one way to skin a cat” it seems unnecessary when the thinking is dull and unnecessary, when considering the extra effort, not needed, to commit to, is but a preferential fad.
Because not everyone has the necessary knowledge and skills, but here we are talking about hobbies. The tool works and I definitely don't need it for industrial production ...
@@capto8784 I see a lot of machinist enthusiasts make the easier version of a fly cutter, Rudy Kouhoupt, there are several DIYer's here on youtube, and sherline.com feature a sherline owner plans for such a flycutter, sooo...but ok.

Me desculpe mas não tenho nenhum desenho oficial desse equipamento, só fiz alguns desenhos confusos que só eu consigo entender. Eu acho que o importante é a ideia para que uma pessoa possa dar um exemplo e também fazer coisas melhores
I could care less about all the other complaints. Every single one of them completely missed the fatal flaw. The single point cutting edge was... OFF THE CENTERLINE!!!!!!
I saw that and was about to comment when I decided to read what others say... that channel piece should have been bolted off to the side to keep the cutting edge in line with the axis of the tool.... the insert is not hitting the work at the same angle as it goes around..... that musik though , umph, barf, puke.
Very simple but very effective, very well done!
many thanks!

Thank you! I'm happy that you like it! :-)
Why I never thought of this? Congrats!
Awesome project ! Thank’s for sharing !!! 📏📐🔧🛠⚙️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That balance looks nice but 2 screws to hold the cutter seems dangerous.
2 screws M6? If you are referring to this th-cam.com/video/gwpPRb-7AH0/w-d-xo.htmlm27s dangerous is impossible

Nice wood planer!
Thank you!
That's a huge fly cutter, I like :)
Thank you!
Hello. What is the rotation adjusted for mild steel (rpm)? Thanks.
I do not know, I usually try them all and choose the best ;-)
Very nice. Good bless you.
Thank you 😉

The tools cutting edge is way off center.
I could care less about all the other complaints. Every single one of them completely missed the fatal flaw. The single point cutting edge was...
OFF THE CENTERLINE!!!!!!
I'm sorry I can only tell you that it works without any problems ;-)
I saw that and was about to comment when I decided to read what others say... that channel piece should have been bolted off to the side to keep the cutting edge in line with the axis of the tool.... the insert is not hitting the work at the same angle as it goes around..... that musik though , umph, barf, puke.
The noise is obnoxious and very irritating.
Thanks for the suggestion!
But...... do you like the Project?
I liked the project great idea just a bit loud to have pop on with head phones on.
Sorry but that day I was very euphoric!
Thank you for your "like" ;-)
Stay tuned!
The head bangin noise drove me away.
I hope you liked this little project at least!
I pity the fool who head bangs to this.
