I'm making some canisters that have a glass piece in them. It is a
tube 200mm in dia, 5mm thick, and 350mm long. The tolerances on the tube are quite wide, it can be up to 1mm out of round, although the wall thickness is probably within 0.2mm. I have a custom made toolpost grinder for parting them off in the lathe which after some trial and error seems to work well, and I now have a good process. I can part one off in about 7 minutes. Currently I'm using a linisher to take off the sharp edge, and prevent the glass from chipping, however this gives a poor finish, and will sometimes chip the edge. Deburring in the lathe will not work, because the piece is out of round. Any suggestions on a better way to debur the edges? I'm only trying to achieve a 0.5mm chamfer. Cheers, Dom. Oh, I'm need to debur the inside and outside edges. |
