hi, may i ask you what kind of knive you use? do you use diamend knife? I'm machining whit same hardness steel, H13, HRC 50~52. But problem is it take too much time! The working piece is 300mm in dia, 300mm tall.
What's your feed rate, speed and cut depth? I only cut 0.1mm, and speed 80m. i really need to ruduce the machining time.
thanks,mate. you do me great favor! I'll try the speed rate tomorrow. we use meters. so 600 SFM, .0035ipr is about 180 meters and 0.9 feed rate. Hope the knife won't wear too fast.
Those chips are Extremely Hot and stick to skin right now! Sometimes they fall and burn into little sparklers. Fireworks get their colors from different kindsof metals ground down to fine powder.
@Lengsel7 I'm ignorant of the process, but I was wondering the same thing. Could it have something to do with the affecting the hardness of the metal being machine? Frankly, I don't have a clue; but I'm amazed what a skilled metal workers can do with an English Wheeling Machine or any metal forming equipment.
The Material is 4140 that has been Heat Treated to 52-54 hrc. The Wheel being Machined is for an English Wheeling Machine. English Wheels are used to make compound Curves on Sheetmetal, like motorcycle tanks, patch panels, roof tops, door skins, etc...

Greetings Dioiao,
The Tool is Ceramic, Diamonds are nice but they can fail very easily. The Wheel is turning at 600 SFM, and the feedrate is no more than .0035 ipr.

Nice cuts...I love hard turning like this. We use english wheels all the time, but I didn't know they were that hard.

Not all are Hardened, to my knowledge we are the only ones making them. We do wheels for most everyone.

Looks great. I hope that is the one I ordered from you a week ago. Cant wait to see my new wheels. Thanks again Joe.

Is that a Hoosier Pattern upper?

Yes Sir it is, I am Joe from Hoosier.

Looks like you need a coolant stream on that, no?
Lengsel7 3 years ago
Yes and No. Sometimes no coolant is needed. It really depends on depth of cut and the Hardness of the material your removing.
