Sharpening the Flutes on a Milling Cutter

In this video, Dr Alastair Godfrey shows how he grinds a secondary bevel on an HSS milling cutter using a shop-made Quorn tool and cutter grinder.

just got a quorn to keep my dore westbury company , have to go through the learning curve of using it your video is a great help, thanks

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

Oh so liking your style of videos. Very refreshing. Also the glimpses of the Dore Westbury are tantalising. More please. Very happy to subscribe👏👏👍😀

[@chronovaengineering]

Glad you are enjoying them! We will release a video covering the Dore Westbury in more detail in the future.

[@DK-vx1zc]

Great job! very interesting.. Would like to see setup, initial settings to provide primary and secondary... More Quorn videos appreciated.. Thanks for sharing.. Subscribing

[@chronovaengineering]

Thanks for the suggestion - we shall bear this in mind for future videos. Thanks for watching!

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very interesting. Nice work. I have to sharpen some of mine as well.

[@screwcutter1]

Is that a MK3 Quorn ? also nice to see a Dore Westbury 👍 Subscribed .

[@chronovaengineering]

It is indeed a MK3 Quorn and a Dore Westbury - good eye. Thank you for subscribing!

[@MagnetOnlyMotors]

That makes it look so easy, my cat could do it . Nice!

[@michaeldimmitt2188]

Have you guys started to work on a Coffee Grinder to go with your Espresso machines? Sharpening end-mills looks like it might be similar to making burr-sets…

[@jerrysanchez5453]

It's a forgotten art.with thing being so replaceable these days it doesn't make since from a production perspective to regrind smaller endmills.its still very cool to see though

[@jessestrum]

hi is your finger guide for the end mills fixed to the base regards john

[@chronovaengineering]

Yes, it's the same fitting that holds the plunger.

[@Slugchucker]

Pity you didn't demo the cut at the end with the cutter you actually sharpened in the video.

[@pjofurey6239]

Enjoyable,particularly nice not to have to endure all the American waffle about being “welcome to the shop” watched several times.

[@chronovaengineering]

Thank you for your kind words, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the video!

[@egdiryellam68]

Just about 100% useless to the majority of us who don't have and probably will never own a shop-made Quorn tool and cutter grinder.

[@NRDavis-wl8vn]

But to us who can rig something up I appreciate the process. My Milling Machine and an Indexing Collet Attachment may not be as precise but as the saying goes: Get e'r Done!

[@michaeldimmitt2188]

@@NRDavis-wl8vn Agreed! Seeing someone else’s rig or jig always gives me ideas about how things work as well as other ways to do things. I would also love to see all of the setup (and test-checking-that-it-is-still-setup-correctly-after-using) and tools to do it right. Learning to square and true machining equipment videos are teaching me helpful skills to understand the why when things start going wrong. #FirstPrincplesFirst
