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

why are you feeding from the left?
You could have fed from the right and sent the chips away from the operator

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

I learned more about milling with a shell mill in this video than I have learned in 3 months of stumbling through the process with marginal results. Thank you for helping us newbies.

Good video. Bad practice to run the cutter back over the surface you've just cut though.

G'Day Mate.
Great channel and fantastic information.
Subbed and liked.
I've just ordered a mid size lathe and mill from my machinery warehouse supplier and as I've just semi retired these tutorials are going to be invaluable for me to get the most out of these machines.
Looking forward to seeing the other content you have.
Cheers

watching this vid was amazing

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

What are the most common mistakes to avoid when setting up a facemill for optimal surface finish?

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

Thank you for taking your time to show this

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

General rule of thumb yes you should always clamp in the middle Sometimes that is not possible and any good quality vice it doesn't matter where you clamp it Cheaper old vices Like this one yes but the very expensive ones usually it doesn't matter

But vices like this shouldn't be used in modern day high speed machining anyway

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

Thank You for this video, very informative.

Thanks

Thank you

Where can I get a 8" face mill with a mt3 shank

Great topic What are the most common mistakes to avoid when setting up a facemill for optimal surface finish

Where did you buy the vice that you are using thank you
