R-8 Right Angle Head

[toy4x4]

Hey guys and gals,

We have a machine part to make that has a key cut in the bore. The thing is that the keyway only goes about half the length of the bore and stops. We found a right angle head for CNC, but we are needing one for R-8 manual mill. The one that we found is a Big Kaiser BCV40-AG90. Could someone point me in the direction of a right angle head similar to the Big Kaiser, but for a manual mill. Thanks for any info.

Jeff,

What we need is basically a standard right angle head that fits a Bridgeport vertical manual mill. But it needs to have an extended nose piece on it that turns the endmill back vertical to cut the keyway parallel to the bore length half the length of the pipe. Thanks for the reply though.

 

 

 

See if this helps: Take a piece of pipe and lay it down flat running parallel to the T-slots on a vertical mill (Bridgeport). Now we need to cut a groove in the X axis on the inside of the bore wall that is against the table while keeping the mill head vertical. But the keyway does not cut all of the way from one end to the other. It stops halfway of the length. HTH
