End mills break when making a dog clutch
Ignoramus562 wrote in
rec.crafts.metalworking on Mon, 21 Feb 2011 07:58:14 -0600: I think that is too small of a chip load. Increase your feed, or decrease your RPM. I would aim for .002 per tooth. .002load * 4flutes = .008/rev. * 2000rpm = 16ipm I would also slow down(feed) on inside corners, where extra load is encountered. Seems pretty high for a puny 1/8" end mill. I now also suspect that the unknown steel bar was not 1018. Yah, 16ipm sounds fast to me too, but that's what the numbers work out to. Could you try increasing the feed a little, and see if it helps or hurts? -- Dan H. northshore MA. |

I will see how it goes, I have a little extra of this 12L14 bar stock. Is this your first machining of 12L14? Isn't it lovely?

When i started making my own stuff out of mystery metal, i broke a lost of tooling. karl i |

Yes, I wonder why it is not available as rectangular bar stock. i Take the dog clutch you have been trying to match up to, and pull it straight out! Set it someplace where it will never be in your way again, and forget making a dog clutch to match it. The dog clutch has a sleeve with a key way in it. This mates with the shaft to the bevel gear. Make your coupler with a key way in it to match the shaft, and FORGET the dog clutches. Much, much simpler, and less of a chain of backlash. So sorry I forgot to mention this before, it didn't click with me.. I once faced and solved the same problem, trying to figure out how to mate up with the dog clutch, then I simply pulled it out, and made a sleeve to replace it. |
