While sorting old metalworking books, I came across a photo in an old
school textbook that showed a large press frame being milled with an endmill (yes, it was a true endmill) in a horizontal mill of some sort. The endmill was about 10" diameter (as big across as the operator's head) and at least 2 feet long, spiral flute. It kinda got me thinking about the largest actual cutting toolbits that have ever been used. There was a discussion a while back about the largest single block of steel people had ever seen...what about the largest tooling (not machine) used to cut these kind of things? Koz |
