Been asking you for years when you are selling that stripped lump of a TV2 mill you have taking up all the precious space.I'm gonna break our elliott if you want to buy the table motor/gearbox
A slower power feed would be nice, but like you, I am not sure I want to spend much ££ to get a DC drive.how about a button tip.....
I made a fly cutter but not as big as ur's tho.....
run up the head untill it vibrated then backed it of a bit......
no way could I get the table feed slow enough so did it by had......
pretty much a rubbish finish but no matter on this job as it had to be just flat......
will totaly reveiw the feed gear box, prob add another small g/box that just slips on for jobs like this.....
I'm not convinsed that spending 100's of £'s on a DC drive is the way to go.....well for me anyway....
Well, we all know I can't cut gears.A gearbox project if you can cut gears is doable though
I can't grind HSS eitherDrill a hole through it with a grub screw at right angles and use a piece of HSS as the cutter, then you can grind it to any profile you want.
Use another lathe tool and you'll halve your feedrate.Mill the same size slot 180 degrees away from the first and put a piece of the tool that you cut off,in there after weighing it to make sure it’s the same weight as the other side.
Gotta get the right money for it mate as I gave £400 for it.Been asking you for years when you are selling that stripped lump of a TV2 mill you have taking up all the precious space.
I guess you are just not ready yet...

However, I know a guy who can cut all sorts of gears on his shaper.
@RobCox ..........

Well, not reliably anyway.
A skill I have been putting off learning but I guess it is high time I learn it.
That was the plan, but I got so excited to actually try the fly cutter, I put the job offMill the same size slot 180 degrees away from the first and put a piece of the tool that you cut off,in there after weighing it to make sure it’s the same weight as the other side.
While I have made insert holders previously, in this case I would go with a simple boring bar/endmill style with 12mm shaft (which I already own one) and clamp in as you would with a boring head. The bar would need to be shortened..How would you hold the inserts? Have you a drawing for the insert pocket for an APKT insert? I would respectfully suggest that Suburban Tool know what they are doing.
