FOR BEGINNERS:
-
Install the carbide lathe tool into the Fly Cutter, making sure that it is held firmly in place. Use a wrench to tighten the set screws and ensure that the tool is secure.
-
Adjust the depth of cut: Adjust the depth of cut on the Fly Cutter so that the carbide lathe tool is just touching the surface of the material you are cutting. Be sure to take small cuts, as carbide is much harder than HSS and can easily break if you try to take too much material off at once.
-
Start the machine: Turn on the milling machine and slowly move the Fly Cutter across the surface of the material you are cutting. Be sure to use a circular motion, and take your time.
-
Check the surface: Periodically stop the machine and check the surface of the material for smoothness and flatness. Adjust the depth of cut as necessary, and continue until you have achieved the desired finish.
-
Clean up: When you have finished cutting, turn off the machine and clean up the work area. Remove the Fly Cutter and carbide lathe tool, and store them in a safe place.
By following these steps, you should be able to use a Fly Cutter (100m Head - 3/4" Straight Shank) 1/2" Slot with a carbide lathe tool to achieve a smooth and precise finish on your workpiece
