Thread: Shaper Chip question

Makes sense Bryan.
I guess for those with smaller machines cutting things the other way may be the only option with longer pieces. The strain on the whole drive train is huge when the ram changes direction, especially when returning due to the speed. It is really amazing with that big cut that the only signs of her being under load is some belt squeak and slightly raised gearbox whine. I bet the crank pin isn't thinking thats all though!

If you got adventurous you would want to to try it with thin bits just to add some more risk....

Here's one making nice chips!
DOC 8 mm, feed 0.2 mm
NOT mine!

But your chips are still nice and curly.

Thanks Nick,
Thats a very interesting cut, using both the angled edge and shoulder. I know it was not meant as a challenge but how could i resist?
I know this is starting to border on showing off, but there is really nothing like turning good steel to shavings with her.
The table support once again moved, the table actually seems to be rocking diagonally, not flexing. The vid is much longer than i anticipated as due to the chatter i got from the lack of table support i went down a gear with good results. The bottom line is though that the 1/4" deep .020" cut is removing more material per stroke than this deeper but smaller feed cut.

Lastly, does anyone know of a good free video editor? I tried the windows one but it won't support the 3gp that my phone records in.

Real sportsmen take every challenge.
