Quixoticgeek<p>Finally completed this project. Been working on it far far far far far far far too long. It's a bluing tray based on the design by clickspring. (Search YouTube for Clicksprings video for a better idea what it's for). </p><p>The cup is my first ever go at silver soldering, and it ain't pretty. But it's gonna spend it's life being shoved into a blow torch flame, so never would stay pretty. The handle is made of ash. With a brass ferrel. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/WoodTurning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WoodTurning</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/ToolMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ToolMaking</span></a></p>

Birk Marold<p>Okay I think it was a total mistake trying to upgrade the small #3018 <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/cnc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cnc</span></a> to have flood cooling. While I did build a aluminium enclosure for the machine it still seems way too messy. I'd need to put the cube on feet and build a additional cube below that would serve as trough. As the top cube is layered with acoustic dampening tiles so it's as quiet as a 3D printer, it's so messy when these things get wet. </p><p>Also against everything I have read online so far on how to best mill aluminium, the results always sucked and had been too Inaccurate. Milling more than 0.3mm width always lead to too much vibration, no matter the depth or tool width or feed rate or tool speed, unless I really had it on the lowest feed rate which is at 50-100mm / min. </p><p>Having the tool speed low to not have chips fuse to the mill bit made sense though i thought....</p><p>Well I was testing all day and with a 4mm 3 flute I can actually put the feed rate at 1000mm/min with the tool speed at 20k rpm and cut even 3mm deep as long as the cutting width is 0.1-0.2mm at max and the cut gets shiny smooth. </p><p>You do see it being a bit unevenly, bit moving across it with my fingernail I can't feel any roughness at all. </p><p>Downside is that I just disassembled the vacuum setup and the chips now are 3mm long needles with 0.1mm in diameter and create a huge mess. </p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/milling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>milling</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/sainsmart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sainsmart</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/genmitsu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genmitsu</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a></p>

Paul Lalonde<p>Finally made up a drive pulley for the new-to-me 5HP motor for my bandsaw. The interrupted cut in the 4" square aluminium blank was stressful. I'm looking forward to getting the flat belt on so I can remove the 2HP and v-belts and get some heavier planks resawn.<br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>woodworking</span></a></p>

Piper<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a> decided rust is actually bad and went through with blueing this. seeing how well it worked makes me want to do everything I own.</p>
cpresser<p>Anybody got an idea what type of collet this is?<br>Its from a high speed spindle that was found without documentation. Most likely sold by ISEL in Germany.</p><p>This one is for 3mm tools, I will would like to get one for 1/8" tools.</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/machinists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>machinists</span></a></p>

Quixoticgeek<p>Today in the metal machine shop I was using a little used alloy called B E E C H... It's kinda similar to the O A K family of alloys... </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/WoodWorking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WoodWorking</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>To test that everything works before I commit to wood. I printed up a test jig. It needed a little refinement to open up the bores (3d printing is not perfect for dimensions, esp of circles). But then. I could test fit everything.</p><p>And it works.</p><p>It works better than I ever dreamed it would. The bar in the image slides easily, but with just a quarter turn of the bolt. It locks on place. A quarter turn is all it takes. From free moving to locked. Now I need to buy the wood.</p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>And that's all the metal machining for this project done. It works! It bloody well works!!!</p><p>Amazingly the jig I made to help manufacturer worked brilliantly. I'm so pleased. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a></p>

Quixoticgeek<p>After I finished work on my primary project yesterday afternoon, I had a bit of time left until the 3d print finished. So I decided to have a play with my new self made sensitive drilling attachment. </p><p>Aim was to drill a 0.5mm hole in some brass. </p><p>I achieved that with minimal breakage. I've just had a chance to test the hole with gauge pins. </p><p>500µm pin fits.<br>600µm doesn't git. </p><p>I'm considering that a big win. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a></p>
