Anyone familiar with "tangent plane machining"?

[Newbeeee™]

I don't know - repeat - I don't know, but those taper/tangent plane tools would need to be ground VERY repeatably or you'll surely have lines on your step downs (talking next time you setup or)?

Or I'm missing sumfing...

I didnt think they were too outrageously priced? $115 for a 6mm and just under $200 for 12mm

I doubt any custom place will make them for close to that pricing in only 1-2 pcs

 

 

I was quoted $215 for the 12mm oval shaped one by MSC.

 

I talked to both OSG and Frasia about them. They have both made them as customs for people. Frasia has no plans to make them a stock item. OSG rep said they might.

Emuge claims to hold the flute profile to .010mm.

I think they would be ground with the same repeatably as a ball mill right? I would think the "ball" on ball mills are cnc ground instead of on a rotating axis like old school bm grinders.
