I know its an old video, but as someone new to a new "hobbiest" - I sure appreciate you taking the time to make this. Cheers

Two things that could be improved upon, first mill in the other direction so the chips fly away from you and second lower the knee a small amount when returning to the starting point so you don't drag the inserts over the face of the part, this adds wear to the inserts and gives you a bad finish, also let the back end of the cutter clear the part before ending the cut or you will get the radius lines going in two different direction and the flatness will not be as good.

You can put some time card paper in the vise to grip the part more if needed. This is a trick taught to me by my tool maker boss from Austria

One fundamental of face milling & most milling operations is to cut from right to left so the chips fly towards the machine and not towards the operator, colleagues and all over the rest of the shop floor. If you use the tangential milling approach, any thickness part edge can be cut with a huge cutter without vibration

Nice work and very informative. Very good education for us amateur engineers.

Can you do a video about how to do the spindle speed and feed calculations for a facemill?

[ESP-Collectibles]

Thank you for taking your time to show this

Great Video I am a 73 year old nebbie looking forward to all of the Tutorials. Do you ever do ant Tutorials on the Manual lathe

raising the knee is a new one for me. makes sense. a pretty knowledgable video

[charleskutrufis]

Thank You for this video, very informative.

are the inserts in a face mill or shell mill set at different Z heights? like the inserts are designed to engage the material in a sequence right? the 2nd insert is sitting a hair under the 1st insert, then the 3rd is below the 2nd am I right?

[thatsthewayitgoes]

I’ve laid down parallels to get height I want. What’s your reason to not lay parallel down? Yes, it’s the thin section; but, when work piece bridges the center gap, why not? Thank you for your knowledge

Equally wrong is milling with the quill extended and/or unlocked.

Lmao...I hope you asked the guy "Yo, what happened to 'Naw man, it'll be fine.'?".

MAI fresare in questo modo. Fare le passate contro la parte fissa della morsa

be safe, seen You need Academic Instructions

[JohnStoever]

Step aside sir. I'll show you how it's done.
