new to milling and guy who took our 2 day introduction to machinery course at work said blue chips mean damaging cutter.

said they should always be silver coloured chips.

so i was just obv being over cautious if nothing obviously wrong.

do those speeds he gave us sound about right?

had some really good books from pre war to modern day from them.

popped into charity shop earlier.

got load of good books on engineering and woodworking from 50s 60s and 70s.

all 50p each

got a few old blunt and broken files.

thinking of making folding knife out of one was wondering how difficult to drill?

does it need any particular drill bit or certain speeds?

couple of basic qs as still learning milling.

prob got total of 3hrs in on milling.

had to slot some brackets last night at work and needed to be dead central as between bolt holes.

easy with dro but if no dro could it be done by marking it out and using say a center drill to line it up then move piece to one side making sure not to move front or backwards and fit cutter then mill it?

also was using two flute slot cutter can i mill on return as well as forward?

i was just taking table back to start then starting again with cut,

ta

got to agree with herbal.

drs useless at sorting my knee problems then friend said try turmeric we use it on our horses.

very little pain or discomfort these days.

cheers for that.

a good day as learnt something new.

love them.

but question about it from someone who knows little about milling having only done very basic bits on one.

i assume he used cutter to start bolt hole then finished with drill bit as cutter less likely to wander giving better accuracy?

got some rear bike hubs that very sturdy i want to modify to use on tadpole builds.

one is threaded internally to hold freehub.

i want to bore that out and remove spoke flange from it.

then make piece that fits in place with disc brake holder and larger soke flange on it.

reason for doing it is not easy or cheap to get hub i can fit bearings and 14mm axle to.
