Table clamp

A curious fact is that he is doing all this milling on a large jog bore. In his low profile clamp video you get to see the front of the machine. The guy is a master.

I will probably use a fly cutter for the next one because the carbide doesn't like the intermittent cutting.

I wonder if it has to do with the rigidity of the set-up and the milling machine? The fellow in the video you posted seems to be using inserted fly cutters on the job.

Speaking of fly cutters - check out the one he uses in this video (starting at about 2:20)....


Great job on your toe / table clamps, btw.

Have you watched Lars Christiansen’s fusion360 videos? I learned a whole lot quickly

Yes, I have followed Lars for quite awhile now and also have purchased some tutorials on Udemy. One of the courses is specifically geared toward learning to generate tool paths and G code.

Carbide is brittle and tends to break when used for intermittent cuts due to the impact, whereas HSS can the handle impact. I managed to chip one of my carbide cutters on this project.
Also, Joe Pyezinsky has a great YouTube video on how to cut an accurate radius using a fly cutter, so I'd like to give his method a try.

Wow Wow and RE Wow I can't find the right word to say how I am impressed . this video is very insterested . I just saw for the first time how to use little jack ? This video is the kind of video I love. How do call the machine you use ? I never saw a machine like this one it look a combination of a lathe and milling on same time ? next question what kind of oil are you using for tempered metal ? Thank you Marc Moreau

And a horizontal one at that - I did not recognize it at first - though it was, give the video angle, a horizontal milling machine.

Working on it. I’m 80% through the second vid as I follow along making the same part.

You guys know there are a bunch of free e-courses available on Lynda if you have a (Calgary Public) library card?
The number on left hand side of pane indicate count. I haven't delved into them but suspect its teh same as other apps, some good, some so-so, some maybe older or previous versions. Worth the price though.

Thanks! I didn't know that resource existed. Also, I posted a thread this morning in Links with links to YouTube channels and a website that I have found to be useful.

More than the mill (that's a monster), I love the saw... Well... we will just take this piece of the 10" X 6" and zip, done!!!

Here is my attempt at drawing the clamp in Fusion. Please note that the hole in the lower block is to be drilled and tapped 1/4-20.
