This is a Bridgeport Shank (Standard R8 Shank). As a result, the smaller end has a value of 0. If the number is 1, the end result should be 949" and larger. 25"; The length of the shank is 4 inches. The thread on the drawbar is 7/16-inch. Thanks.
The APKT inserts are made of uncoated carbide and have a large rake angle and polished surface. They're made to cut non-ferrous metals. Aluminum, for example, is a ferrous alloy. They are said to be effective for semi-machining cast iron.
Look up the terms "speeds and feeds" in the dictionary. You'll find what you're looking for by searching for that phrase. What you're cutting, the depth of the cut, the lubrication, the machine's rigidity, and the workholding all have an impact.
As others have stated, it depends on a variety of factors; however, because this is primarily a face mill, it is not designed to make deep, fast cuts; if you need to go deep, use a conventional roughing end mill and finish with this. I've used mine on titanium and 7075 aluminum, and the material has come out with a very nice smooth finish.

I'm a busy guy who works full-time, has four children and a wife, and is attempting to launch my own small business. Writing reviews takes time, and for people in similar situations as myself, time is extremely valuable. Because of how well it performed, I felt it deserved a few minutes of my time. To begin, I'd like to state that I'm fairly new to milling, and I'm not always sure what to expect in terms of finish with each bit. Others have commented that it creates a nearly mirror-like finish. Not once did I feel let down. I'm using aluminum blocks to make jigs for my wood lathe. After being cut down to size, the blocks had a few rough edges, so I needed two pieces that would fit together but slide against each other with minimal resistance as I positioned them into place. I was so impressed with the finish that I ordered two more sizes, which were delivered today. The product is solid; it threaded in easily and perfectly into my R8 spindle. There's no slop or movement when cutting because it's so beefy. I'm going to order new cutting blades just to be safe (the ones I have are fine; I just need backups).
Period. This was purchased as a low-cost facemill to go with my Bridgeport knee mill. It's actually quite effective! I was able to obtain a nearly mirror finish after tramming the head. I wasn't expecting it to do as well as it did! br>br>Here are a few observations based on my personal experience: 1) Before using the inserts, they must be reset. Mine weren't perfectly flush, which harmed the surface finish at first. 2) Because there are only three cutters on this face mill, the speed is extremely high. It's spinning at around 2k rpm for me.
Two- or three-piece assemblies are used in other designs. When it comes to facing, however, it's a different story. One of the pieces is more rigid and better than the others. I had to deal with two situations. 6061- 3/4" wide T6 and 2024 are two numbers that have been used to represent the year 2024. With this 3" tool, you can cut T3511 aluminum in just one pass. With a little coolant sprayed on the surface, the feeds and speeds were 2500RPM and 45 inches per minute. The final result is extremely smooth. The manufacturing facility- So far, the carbides that have been installed have proven to be excellent. For physical protection, it comes in a large plastic case, which I use to store it in my tool drawer. It was well worth the money. It performs admirably.
It will be interesting to see how long it lasts. So far, the finish and insert quality have been exceptional; the tool is only cut aluminum, but it is simple to use and the inserts have already been torqued; it appears to be well built for a Chinese tool. Few Chinese tools are actually good, and the vast majority are of poor quality; however, higher-priced Chinese tools can be of high quality. It appears to be well-made and of high quality materials in this case. If anything changes, I'll let you know. Take light cuts with a 3-inch cutter because it's a bit aggressive for an old but well-cared-for and rebuilt spindle; I'll probably get a 2-inch cutter instead. inch facing mill to see if it reduces head noise when the machine is loaded.
I was hesitant to give it a try after reading so many negative reviews. But I really needed a facing mill tool for the mill, and I'm not quite good enough yet to justify spending four times as much on a good one. br>br>The end mill cuts mild steel quickly and leaves a decent finish. The results of a final pass with a very shallow cut and a high speed low feed rate were outstanding. I could cut mild steel at any speed and depth I wanted.
I have a few fly cutters that work well, but this one is so simple to use that it has become my go-to facing tool. Inserts are fairly durable, and they can be purchased in a ten-pack for a very reasonable price. Aside from where it's made, I can't think of anything negative to say about it. Another one would be purchased. Next time, I'll probably go for a 3" one.
So far, it's only worked on aluminum. This is what I use on my G0704 mill, and it's fantastic. So far, it's only worked on aluminum. It produces a lovely mirror finish. The fact that the insert type is printed on the cutter is also a plus.
This thing is fantastic, but the inserts that came with it grabbed aluminum like a magnet and ruined the surface finish after only 5 or 6 surfacing operations (even at a very shallow depth of cut). I replaced the inserts with new ones, and everything is working fine now.
