Re: Machining aluminum question
开云体育Sorry, I misunderstood your question. ? A handheld router is not a substitute for a mill simply because you can’t slow it down enough, control the tool path, or keep the part cool. ?I do use a handheld router in a fixture specifically designed for chamfering and deburring the corners of parts (details here: ?https://flic.kr/s/aHsmCSkwqP ), but I wouldn’t attempt much else with a handheld router or than round-over and chamfering. ?I have successfully cut aluminum plate on my Felder sliding table saw, but it requires tremendous care and constant retraction and cooling, otherwise the off-cut chips will weld to the saw blade tips.If you think diving into a Tormach CNC mill is a way to skip over the knowledge required to be successful as a manual machinist - think again. ? IMO, the knowledge and expertise required to be successful with a Tormach is a superset (not subset) of what you need to know to run a manual mill. ?You still need ?the same metallurgy knowledge and a lot more. ?Since you like 3D printers, you might explore building a Voron Cascade (https://www.reddit.com/r/VORONDesign/comments/1cenzzr/new_voron_model_cascade_cnc_machine/) or RatRig Minimill (https://ratrig.com/cnc-kits/mini-mill-configurable.html) instead of getting a Tormach. ?

Re: Selling full shop of 3 phase Felder Equipment
I’m interested in the rl160. Can you post some photos and the price you are expecting.

Re: Selling full shop of 3 phase Felder Equipment
Very interested in the jointer / planer. Possibly interested in more but I for sure need that.

Re: Machining aluminum question
开云体育I use router bits often for milling operations. ?Here is a CMT carbide-tipped router bit cutting round-overs in 316 stainless steel. ?Aluminum is a piece of cake compared to this.David Best DBestWorkshop@... https://www.flickr.com/photos/davidpbest/collections/ https://www.youtube.com/@David_Best

Re: Machining aluminum question
开云体育I have limited experience as I used carbide bits (for wood) to make big squeeze clamp housings. If your wood tooling is carbide, I personally wouldn’t hesitate to try the 2 operations you described keeping the feed rate in check.I however don’t have enough experience to tell you to go and do it ?

?I've never worked with metals before and want to see if anybody with machining experience can give me some advice. I machined a profile I need out of 1/2 inch aluminum and would like to knock the sharp edges off and chamfer the holes for a counter sink bolt. Can I use a counter sink wood bit for the holes and a small round over bit to fillet the edges? I machined it with a router, but I used a straight spiral carbide bit so I don't know how a profile bit will work out. If the round over bit will work I assume I'll still need to make very light passes. If it won't does anyone have a suggestion?? I attached a pic to see what I'm working with.

开云体育My experience is that all tooling for wood works on aluminum just fine.My opinion about the round over is to use a file or sanding block at 45 degrees. Steven Sivak w:?? ? ? p: 248.860.3228
