A fly cutter with a 100mm head and 3/4" shank, equipped with a 1/2" slot, can be a useful tool for beginners who want to achieve a smooth and flat surface on a workpiece. Here are some basic steps to get started with this tool:

1. Choose the right fly cutter: As a beginner, you might want to start with a fly cutter that has a smaller head size, such as 100mm. This will allow you to get a feel for the tool and its capabilities. Choose a fly cutter with a 3/4" shank, which is a common size and should fit most milling machines and drill presses. The 1/2" slot is the width of the cutting edge and can be used to create a slot or groove in the workpiece.

2. Secure the workpiece: Use a vice or clamp to securely hold the workpiece in place. Make sure it is level and stable before starting.

3. Install the fly cutter: Insert the fly cutter into the spindle of your milling machine or drill press. Make sure it is securely fastened and the cutting edge is properly aligned.

4. Adjust the depth of cut: Lower the fly cutter until the cutting edge just touches the surface of the workpiece. This will be your starting point for the depth of cut. Gradually lower the fly cutter in small increments until the desired depth of cut is achieved.

5. Start the machine: Turn on the machine and slowly move the fly cutter across the workpiece. The cutter should be moved in a circular motion to ensure an even cut.

6. Check the surface: Periodically stop the machine and check the surface of the workpiece for smoothness and flatness. If necessary, adjust the depth of cut and continue the process until the desired finish is achieved.

7. Finish the process: When finished, turn off the machine and remove the fly cutter from the spindle. Clean the workpiece and check for any burrs or imperfections.
