Yeah i crashed it like 3 times already. Does that make me a seasoned veteran? Lucky me it cones with a cutout clutch that has saved , the work, machine and my pants.
Right now It's less so questions as more of I don't know what I don't know.
Tool angles and geometry Is one, is carbide viable for one of these or should I be using high speed steel for boring?
For speeds and feeds do you use the general rules as you would for turning or milling or something else?
Work holding fixtures any recommendations on what is essential to have at the ready? Most used ?
Hahah you’re getting there! I use carbide as often as possible because I like indexable tooling. Tool steel for forming. I follow general feed/speed for milling, making up the rest as I go. As far as work holding, a good ass set up angle plates is a must have and a couple aluminum runners to protect good finished surfaces. Lots of shims too and heavy c-clamps.
Thanks that actualy helped the should I questions abit. And gave me a good idea with the c clamps.
