How To Make A Fly Cutter : Part 1/2

[@treathull9587]

I just jumped in for $10 a month on Patreon. When I thought about the value, it was a no-brainer. We had cable TV for years and with all the upsells, paid nearly $100 a month for crap. It costs a minimum of $25 to go to a stupid Hollywood movie that just leaves you shaking your head after it’s over, wondering why you did that again. So to pay a measly $10 bucks a month for something that’s real, substantive content, it’s no-brainer. I’m a Canuck and I paid $13 bucks in northern pesos and it was still a good deal. I don’t think cable tv or the movies are any better in the States than they are here in the frozen north, so when you’re paying with US dollars it’s even better value. There’s 10 times as many people in the States as their are here, so given that Quinn got at least one Canadian (me) to sign up for Patreon today, I like to challenge 10 times as many viewers from the States to sign up to Patreon...and you’re not even paying $13. Are there ten of you out there in the States who are ready to take me up on this Can-Am challenge?

Hey Blondihacks, I had to retrain to be a CNC machinist a few years back due to several layoffs from other jobs. I got a four-month crash course in machining from a small university and quickly found a job running a Haas lathe. I was overwhelmed at first because there is sooooo much stuff to learn! Long story short, I've since become interested in machining and I've purchased several books and watched countless videos trying to improve my machining skills. In a nutshell, most of the videos are either too complicated for my skill level or it's some clueless idiot claiming to know what they are doing and neither of these helps me at all. However, your videos are easy to understand and very succinct so I want to truly thank you for helping me and other people understand machining principals. You've been a huge help!

[@Blondihacks]

Aww thank you for sharing your story! I’m very glad I could help! ☺️

[@tom87pate]

@@Blondihacks I am still watching your various introduction videos and they are fantastic. Lyle Petersen's videos are great too and both of you are good teachers. My boss is a very competent machinist but he is also the General Manager so he doesn't really have time to teach me. As I hobby and to help me learn, I've recently purchased an older (bench top) Craftsman lathe and your videos are indispensable in helping me understand things that other machinists take for granted. I had never touched a metal lathe prior to having to retrain and it's people like yourself and Lyle Petersen that are helping a middleaged guy like myself make a decent living in the Midwest. Seriously, thanks a million.

[@Blondihacks]

Lyle is the best! I met him at the Bar Z Bash this year and he’s a delightful man.

I’m a fitter and turner by trade but that was a loooong time ago.

Your videos are ‘good oil’, thanks for sharing your knowledge (and sense of humour).

Hi Quinn, If you find yourself ever having the time, energy and sufficient amounts of coffee, I think it would be awesome if you did a video walking us through you designing one of your projects in fusion 360! I recently downloaded it, and I am finding it overwhelming to get the hang of.

[@incubatork]

[@NarfBLAST]

[@stanmacdonald1073]

Quinn, I am new to your channel and absolutely love it. Your humor and demeanor are up there with This Old Tony and I too want to be your friend. I hope that is a complement! I have a quick note on balancing your fly cutter in Fusion. To balance the fly cutter you want the center of gravity (CG) in the XY plane to be on the axis of rotation (let's call it Z). Your trapezoidal shape does a great job in balancing in the tool direction (Let's call it X). To balance in the perpendicular direction place the Y component of the CG on the Z axis. The CG of the assembly is displayed in x, y, z coordinates in the assemblies properties as center of mass Just cut /trim away to center (zero) the x and/or y components. In the fly cutter case I beleive you will need to remove weight from the opposite side of the cutter!???? This is because the tool is very close to the CG in the Y direction(0 to .5 or ~.25) and the cutout for the set screws is around 1" so the mass at the set screw cutout has 4 times the mass at the tool location. Wow, so much for a short note. sorry

[@general5104]

[@general5104]

EXCELLENT VIDEO...tickles me to hear you talk !!! 'makes me remember all those years ago, working on and around shop equipment! I remember our shop had a tailstock chuck that had a short rounded off and half twisted tang on its morse taper. If we had a big bit to run with it, we would stick the handle end of its chuck key in the hole and rest the key on the cross feed, on a little piece of wood and a rubber band around the chuck and key. That would prevent the chuck from turning. Later, the shop got another tang pressed in that we didn't have to baby. You mentioned you were experiencing "chatter", on your cut. If you will grind a small radius on your cutter, in your lathe tool post, you will see a marked difference in less chatter as well as surface finish! My mentor showed me quite a few KEWL tricks like that. Another kewl trick is using CRISCO vegetable shortening (not the oil), for tapping steel. I just fill a pill bottle with Crisco and put the lid on. I've taught my grandson to pull the lid off. stick the tap in and put the lid back on and tap the steel. You don't have the mess you usually have and your thread quality is pretty and smooth...not grainy, like when you use tapping fluids. (my mentor worked for a major heavy equipment company, and he told them about Crisco. They bought my hometown stores out! you couldn't find any Crisco anywhere in that area of town! They make earth moving equipment.) There's your tip of the day. I APPRECIATE you and your machine-shop activities ! Oh, and before I forget it again...I absolutely love how you start your video sessions! Bill, from Tn 🇺🇸

[@rubarb0406]

Quinn, I see that there are already 225 comments on your presentation. I wanted to give you a tip that will assist in preventing drill bit spin. It is especially valuable when using Silver & Deming bits. There are three holes in the chuck. Each hole should be used to torque down the jaw on the bit. Enjoy your videos.

[@rameshbharakhada5497]

Your explanation is very good

[@britishreaction54]

Thoroughly enjoyed that. A very nifty design! I often hold drills in a collet chuck to prevent them spinning in the tailstock. One thing I did notice was that your centre drill lifted a little; tailstock not clamped? To rough out a flat bottomed hole it is possible to use a slot drill (centre cutting end mill) in the tailstock chuck.

[@Blondihacks]

That’s just the normal drift of the quill when it is unlocked. People just aren’t used to seeing it that close-up

[@britishreaction54]

@@Blondihacks Understood. Thank you for the explanation.

[@ja-no6fx]

Thank you again for including you mistakes. very helpful

[@19amw87]

I only have a little experience on mills and lathes so please forgive me if this is a silly question. Instead of machining the entire fly cutter body into a wedge wouldn't it be easier to just leave it round and only machine the HSS slot at an angle? You could use a small end mill to plunge cut flat surfaces where the set screws will go, center drill the flats, then proceed as normal. It would result in a heavier fly cutter but I would think it would help with balance.

[@alexk4709]

love the color scheme

[@Blondihacks]

That won’t survive into the real world. 😜

[@250ExplorerVideos]

Thanks for sharing. Out of curiousity, why is it so hard to actually drill on center? In most videos when people use center drills etc they always seem to shift off of center? Am i seeing this wrong or is this a common issue? if so what are your recommendations for fixing? It happens at 5:00 in your video for reference.

[@Blondihacks]

Good question! This is actually correct behavior that you’re seeing. The center drill is finding the center of rotation naturally. There is some movement in the tailstock quill when it is not locked (as when drilling). This is part of why center drills are so valuable!

[@willyhooyberghs8068]

@@Blondihacks So, meaning your centerdrill or tailstock is out of center. Same movement with the bigger drill at 10:30.

[@Blondihacks]

No, it isn’t. This is normal. The quill droops slightly under gravity when unlocked.

[@250ExplorerVideos]

@@Blondihacks ahhh, so what I am seeing is the center drill hitting the stock slightly off center, and because the stock is moving the center drill naturally wants to find center and so it shifts to center? Thank you for clarifying, I always thought it was going 'off center' :)

[@SamKuhn-b6g]

in attempting to use a fly cutter cutting tool that I ground, I obtained a smooth finish but once the tool advanced the distance of the diameter, the trailing edge began cutting also, messing up the smooth advancing finish!!! Can you help? Thanks Sam

[@turningpoint6643]

Good & well explained video as always Quinn. Something a lot don't realize is that rust is a rudimentary form of carbides and much harder than the parent metal it came from. With our usual home shop pack rat syndrome a lot of us end up machining rusty scrap metal. That rust just like the hardened skin on cast iron, abrasive dust off grinding stones or emery paper can get embedded in the much softer slide and bottom surfaces of the carriage ways. Even with a hardened bed those other surfaces are still soft. Add the normal oil that should be always there and you end up with an excellent lapping and way scoring compound. Once the material does get embedded it's about impossible to remove short of re-grinding or hand scraping it away. The cheapest aluminum foil for the kitchen you can find works well to wrap the exposed lathe parts to catch and protect the machine until your down to clean metal and the whole works can then be thrown away. I'll usually wire wheel the majority of the rust off first, add a coat of any heavy oil to the remaining surface rust to keep any dust from going air borne until it's all removed. A bit of historical machining trivia. While the equipment was/is mostly used on rare and expensive hardwoods such as African black wood and before the bans Elephant ivory. The Ornamental Turning lathes were also sometimes used on metal. Quite rare even for that equipment, they made what was called an Oblique Chuck to hold and machine work with it's face angled to the lathes head stock rotation. Almost any shape you can visualize was held and machined by mechanical methods they developed over hundreds of years. I've picked up a fair amount of information about complex multi axis work holding and machining from some of the Ornamental Turning books I've bought. Likely one of the most modern and cheapest to find for a used copy would be T.D. Walshaw's Ornamental Turning. ISBN 1 85486 108 5. It's mostly about using the usual home sized metal lathe, or in his case a Myford as a replacement for the now rare and super expensive original ornamental lathes. Even with no interest in the subject his details about the use of a standard boring head are worth the price of the book alone. There an extremely powerful and versatile accessory that can do far more than just bore holes. Single tooth fly cutters with a vast range of tooth shapes were also used a great deal in that work. He also shows how all of the tools were precision lapped to obtain the best possible tool sharpness using a fairly simple Goniostat and fine stones www.google.com/search?q=goniostat&client=firefox-b-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiDrOjTqPnjAhWRvZ4KHeWYBcQQ_AUIESgB&biw=1600&bih=763&dpr=1.2 What worked in those dense hard woods and ivory can be applied or modified to be used with metal. It's also a dark, very long, extremely time consuming and expensive rabbit hole to go down for anyone making the life altering mistake of developing an interest in ornamental turning.:-)

[@caernavon]

I just discovered your channel a month or so ago, and I've been making my way through your videos since then. I dont know anything about machining, but maybe that's why I love your content so much: you are excellent at explaining things, you show your mistakes and use them as a chance to demonstrate how to overcome them, and nothing seems out of the reach of any aspiring hobby machinist. That said, this one confused me a bit. Why did it matter so much how precisely deep the hole for the arbor was? All I could think was, so there would be enough depth to get a good grip on the arbor shaft, but then why not drill all the way through for even more grip?

At 5:05, it looks like the tailstock is floping all over the place. Is that normal for lathes?

[@eddietowers5595]

Awesome.

[@BeekersSqueakers]

Fusion 360 should also tell you the center of mass of the entire component. Based on how far from the center axis (and in which direction) that center is you can use some maths to determine how much to remove and from where with out having to iteratively guess. If you do your maths right, it'll put the center of mass directly inline with the axis of rotation and eliminate any eccentric oscillation (atleast in free rotation). You may need to counter balance with more weight opposite the cutting side to compensate for the force of the cutting edge striking the workpart, but that would be heavily dependent on cutting tool stickout and workpart material.

[@Fossilphill]

What influenced your decision to go with 10° ? Having done a bit of research, it seems that there is no standard angle, so people have used everything between 10 and 45° with 12 and 15 being popular. Cheers :-)

[@thomasevans5467]

I am not a machinist at all but could you have put an angled shim between the part and that awkwardly clamping fourth jaw to make the clamping force stronger and the setup safer?

[@Blondihacks]

It’s safer without. Unless the angle of that shim is perfect, it has a good chance of flying out of the chuck at speed, and well...my face is right where it would go. 😬

[@thomasevans5467]

For sure, I thought that might be the case, to tell you the truth machining has always frightened me for this reason, I do need to get over my dear though if I ever want to realize my dream of watchmaking. I have seen some watchmaker secure flat plates of brass to a backplate with nothing more than super glue. Is this possible because of how soft and easy to work brass is or does it have to do with the size of the piece in question. Sorry to be so long winded

[@Blondihacks]

Thomas Evans Indeed superglue is a very useful fixturing method. It works in many materials, as long as you keep the cutting forces low and the temperature down.
