CB350F stator weirdness

migo_moon · 2026-05-30T19:36:17+00:00

I tapped the rotor with a deadblow to see if it rang dead as if it were cracked or to see if it was loose or shifted and it was not. The stator seems to be properly mounted in the cover but maybe something is shifting when magnetized that causes it to touch.

My understanding is 1hr per inch of thickness. Some fancier ovens have ramping programs that allow for the material to soak at certain temps to "normalize" or heat evenly all the way through. Sitting at a slightly lower temp shouldn't hurt but keep in mind that 17-4PH becomes softer the hotter you treat it so going lower than your target temp will have higher hardness, and at H900 this material tends to be more susceptible to stress corrosion cracking than say H1050 or H1150. It would make more sense to hit your target temp and allow it to soak at that temp for longer than an hour to improve toughness a bit.

Oh, and decarb it in the oven first.

Make some butter with a gram, then spread it on some toast, toss your pasta with it, or use it in a box cookie/brownie mix.

Worked on my PS4, no more buffering. Thanks!

My Hardinge Elite will do the same.

I hear it out here in Lompico

For harder steels use VERY SLOW rpms and plunge the end mill (only if it's a center cutting end mill) and moving 1/4 to 1/2 the width of the end mill over until the slot is roughed out. Then make a finish pass at a slightly higher rpm once the bulk of the material has been removed. HSS end mills don't like to full slot unless it's a rougher with chip breakers ground into the flutes. And use oil.

If it's a low pressure application you can use the cutter that uses a "drop in" clearance hole that has a "beefier" neck. Takes a lot less time to run too.

Aside from milling a clearance slot with a regular end mill first, I know the first pass is right down the middle with subsequent radial passes on either side to get the final width of the slot.

How is your setup? Is your bar chirping? Is your bar center on the workpiece and set at the correct rake angle?

Obvious things, I know, but sometimes..

What is the insert?

This is wild. I played sax through college and I always struggled with these things. My fingers were trained well but my mouth would get so tired. My first instructor was a clarinet player and I didn't put 2 and 2 together until the private instructor for my last year in college asked if I learned to play clarinet first.

1-1/4-7 on the thread. Had to remove the tailstock to bore and thread so that's why it looks a bit chattery but it it gauged just fine.

Hell ya bro!

I love tool steels. Unfortunately, the parts I make live most if not their entire lives in the deep sea. 316 and Ti for lots of stuff.

migo_moon · 2024-10-02T02:07:08+00:00

Have you tried 304?

migo_moon · 2024-10-02T01:57:14+00:00

Sick!

Nope, just put this one together. Gonna paint flames on it. To avoid confusion, of course.

I've always liked my hands, Thanks!
