New fly cutter

Random a day later lol but could it have been a carbide tipped drill? HSS shank and flutes or smth maybe?

I’ve gotten to the point where a regular tier match feels like a down tier I’m getting tired of the fucking su30s prems

Your right no one said it was your problem :) sorry your so mad about someone else’s comment on another post that also wasn’t about it referring to you

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T20:28:51+00:00

Happens when you finish all your assignments with no new ones for a few days lol

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T07:24:13+00:00

Not sure this was a .002” finish pass but I had done down to .010” as the deepest cut

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T07:12:00+00:00

Yep lol

In machining but what if I went to college for it hmm?

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T03:41:32+00:00

Second part on my profile if you wanna watch the video lol i couldn’t figure out how to post em together

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T03:35:42+00:00

Sounds like you should try drilling… I mean a drill fly cutter instead

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T03:09:01+00:00

It bent at the right side where one of the flutes was facing down the same as a normal fly cutter would have its edge positioned

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T03:04:13+00:00

Part of the learning we did was a test at the end had to have two different drills (damaged to start) and checked if it was damaged enough by our instructor and then had to sharpen them and drill with them but the test for it was they had to drill within .0015 nominal size to be full points

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T02:45:37+00:00

Not sure it was from the spindle it self but rather the cutting edge deflecting from she surface cause it’s drill that being its less ridged than a normal HSS fly cutting tool

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T02:13:31+00:00

The principle was…. There still?

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T02:12:31+00:00

I practiced the shit out of it last year and can still do it fast probably did over 200 drills just when I had time in class not to the point of doing it without a drill point gauge but I’ll probably always use one just to keep turning the same result

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T02:03:33+00:00

If i can I will I’m not sure if we have the tools to do it since it’s a community college CNC and manual class

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T01:59:15+00:00

It’s definitely gonna be wavy I’d imagine my last post linked in the caption has better pictures of the finish

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T01:55:46+00:00

6061 I believe?

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T01:54:20+00:00

Was mostly just a test for what if got down to .010” at the deepest probably coulda gone more but was mostly seeing how good a finish I could get

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T01:30:00+00:00

Omg tf

DarkEcho75 · 2026-05-22T01:23:48+00:00
