Interesting use of the angle grinder and I like the simple furnace for melting aluminium, nice job.

[@terrycannon570]

OMG you Nuked the Dekel ! lol. Love the Grinder idea. Is it mounted to the tool post of the lathe ? Thanks for the video. Interesting demo on the comparison of the shaper vs the mill. Even if you double the depth of cut of the mill it is still slower . BTW what is the conversion of minute to metric .

[@Rustinox]

Joule ? Not sure.

[@terrycannon570]

@@Rustinox NOUN joule (noun) · joules (plural noun) the SI unit of work or energy, equal to the work done by a force of one newton when its point of application moves one meter in the direction of action of the force, equivalent to one 3600th of a watt-hour.

Also the price of tooling. A mill needs a specific cutter that are expensive and difficult to sharpen in the home shop. Shaper tools on the other hand, meh.

Both are small machines. With bigger machines it would be done on one cut.

No need to be sorry, Mick. It was just a little joke.

[@pyromedichd1]

Excellent work. Interesting to see various ways of doing things when tooling is limited. I'm surprised that the Shaper would have been faster than the Mill although I think your feed rate and depth of cut on the mill could have been faster and larger.

It's a small milling machine and doesn't like big cuts.

[@barrygerbracht5077]

The cutting speed of your mill is limited by its power. A safe speed for a HSS cutter is 20-30m/min at 0.05mm/tooth in mild steel. The depth of cut and width is limited by power and rigidity. 1mm depth of cut for a 10-20mm end mill is very conservative. No reason you can't go 5-10mm at a time. Using a power calculator from Mitsubishi I get a 20mm cutter, 10mm depth of cut at 80mm/min (0.05mm/tooth *4 teeth at 400 rpm) = 700w (~1 hp). That may be pushing your mill given its age, but that still gets the job done in under 2 min, not 30. Cutters need to cut not rub, and using 1mm of a 30mm cutting flute is like taking one slice off the end of your block of cheese and throwing the rest in the trash bin.

[@janvanruth3485]

no way a smallish shaper is going to beat an, even small, mill in material removal. unless of course you don't let it work.......

[@Rustinox]

That's very interesting information. Thanks for sharing. I still have to do more experimenting to learn to know the limits of the mill.

I have never understood the reluctance of machinists to use a ten euro ( 2nd hand ) nine inch grinder with one euro cutting wheel to over cut the dimension or more specifically rough cut to oversize. They prefer to go straight in with expensive cutters on expensive machines spending oodles of time creating loads of chips which need scooping up rather than throwing the residual piece in the scrap pile. It must somehow be against their religion. Nice video.

[@Rustinox]

It's all about having a good time in the workshop. Even if that is making a pile of chips using expensive tools :)

That end shot seems a little daring in todays climate. Down and dirty melting will get the melt job done. Have seen those same blow hole problems on casting done this way recently on u/t. It appears to have worked out in your utility job. Thanks for the look, as always enjoy your methodology.

[@Rustinox]

I heart that the bubbles are the result of poring too hot. Well, next time better.
