Correct speed for a very thin slotting saw?
Hi group,
I'm over halfway done (I think) with the Skeleton Wall Clock by WR Smith. I need to slot a small brass block for the pendulum support. The support 'spring' is a length of .006 feeler stock. Smith describes how he did it...he used a .010 slotting saw (he didn't have a .006) and then closed up the slot to fit the thickness of the spring. I went ahead and bought a .006 slitting saw. It's obviously very thin and delicate, so I would like to know what speed I should run the saw at and what technique would work best for creating the slot. Thanks in advance. Nok |
