OptiRough Video

Just a litle video I took out at the machine this morning. I am still amazed just to stand back and watch the chips fly after all these years of being a machinist.

Very, very cool.

[Trevor Bailey]

very nice. make sure that you send your speeds/feeds/depth of cut, step over, material, end mill info, etc.... to chris rizzo so he can update the data base.

[Chris Rizzo]

Nice. Here's the link to the database and entry form in my sig.

[Sticky]

Nice, what was your axial depth of cut?

[Chipmakr]

.377 deep in this cut .490 deep on the two side pockets that you can see already machined in the part.

When the parts finished, you can just mow through those bolt heads for easy removal.
