Think you got chips?


Recommended Posts

That's total cut isn't it?

 

Not sure. I'm not a lathe guy so I don't know if lathe guys typically use the little Ap symbol as diameter removed or depth of cut? From the scale of it, I didn't think it looked like 1.3 inch DOC, but once I saw that the chips were .078 thick, I realized my perspective of that scale is AFU. :laughing:

I've seen that. Impressive.

There used to be a video of an old gantry mill with a huge Ingersoll (I think) facemill that's about 24" diameter and the broom catches fire clearing chips from it.

I can't find it. But it's pretty sweet.

 

Ah yes. The Ingersoll Portal Mill, a classic

 

Yeah I can't tell if that was the gearbox exploding at :54 seconds, or just the sound it makes when you disengage the feed in a .078ipr cut.

 

Sounded like a pile of chips falling into the pan!

The SCMT 3809 insert is a 38.1mm square. So I guess the d.o.c. of 1.338 is total. Either way, the feedrate is insane!
