Hi Druid, A couple of years ago you made a magnetic dipstick for your Grizzly Mill. Have you checked how much metal it has collected this year? I have a few...
Hi Denis, Â Has it been that long - I must be having fun as time sure flew by.... Â I just checked it and found some ultra-fine black silt at the "magnetic";...
Druid, Thanks for the info. I will be making one of these over the holidays. Since I've had my Mill for a year now, I wonder how much metal it will pickup. I...
The reason that you are getting torn up knurls is that the pitch of your knurling tool is wrong. For perfect knurling you need to select the correct pitch....
I have considered getting a mini mill and convert it to a CNC machine to enhance my capabilities for my custom pen making obsession. I have read till my eyes...
Back in mid-Oct I ordered a CNC upgrade for my IH mill and Tommy said they were about 6 weeks out. I haven't heard anything from them since, and have...
Jet, I purchased a machine from them about 6 months ago and the delivery time was pretty lengthy. I finally called to check on the status of my order only to...
Is there an easy way of knowing what grade aluminum is? I have a scrap dealer that has some nice pieces and prices, but how can I tell what I might be buying? ...
Mark, I use a lot of surplus aluminum and my preference is the 7075/7078 series alloy in T6 to T85 condition. I look for material that still has a legible mill...
I lost my dad while I was an independent consultant living project-to-project, so I do have sympathy for his situation. If he's behind due to a death in the...
Jet, Simpathy can only excuse so much. Gene was alive for five of the six months that it took for IHCNC to deliver my machine. I had also recently lost my...

Hi can anyone enlighten me as to the cutting speed in RPM for mild steel on a mill drill. Up to now I have only cut alumium with no problems. Thank you and a...
Depends on the diameter of your cutter. I use around 600rpm for a 1/2" cutter, half as much cutter, go twice as fast, so 1200rpm for 1/4", etc. Double the...
I am not sure what the " Little Hogger Cutter Set 1 inch O/D" is refering to but I believe you are refering to the single point indexable carbide end mills...

Dry, and I'm using HSS cutters. I didn't notice that the question was asking about carbide, I'd probably increase speeds by 50% for carbide. cheers, c...
Hi all I should have indicated that it is a two tooth indexible carbide faceing cutter. My feeds and speeds calculater gives 340 RPM for a one inch diameter...
I faced a similar-but-different problem: I have low headroom and can't install a full-size mill. I ended up going with a square-column mill from Industrial...
There is a program called ME Consultant 2.0 that computes feeds and speeds for all types of materials and tooling. It is very easy to use with pull-down menus,...
Hi, When using published Feeds & Speeds you must take into consideration that they were formulated for industrial machines. Drill/Mill machines, while greatly...
