CYLINDER HEAD SKIM

[bigfootGeorgia]

show us how u actually setup the head on the mill...

[jmhale25]

Just to say had my cylinder head skimmed by this top bloke and has done a top job and will be bringing more cylinder heads your way. I would recommend his work to any one. Thanks again :)

Can anyone tell me where we can purchase the attachment for the bridgeport milling machine that skims?

[monkeyboydai]

Why do people post stupid comments? Do they try and make themselves look like retards or is it just a natural gift? Nothing wrong with this video. It shows how the job is done. End of story.

Mate U came a looooooooong way from this vid since U built your

flycutter...

[ScojoDak]

I would not trust that surfacing method at all!

[meanfazer]

@ScojoDak would you care to elaborate and tell us all why???

[sammorgan31]

@ScojoDak True there's a large overhang on the fly cutter, but this is also a full size knee mill. As long as the machine has the rigidity to make the cut and it's trammed in properly there wont be a problem.

put your hand in it

[meanfazer]

@glamisfanatic = wanker

[glamisfanatic]

@meanfazer you can put that in there too i guess if you want

[meanfazer]

are you bored??

How far is you head out of square,only the trailing edge is cutting

[meanfazer]

ahhh finaly a sensible question! yes the trailing edge is cutting I clock the head of the machine square and then just move it by 1/4 thou to cause this and get a better finish ,i have found that with the head set square it leaves a shadow cut on the trailing side and looks awfull,doing this obviously scallops the face slightly ,through reading on the net i learned that 2thou scallop across a face is permisable ,if you run a dial gauge across my heads they dont even have that,great question.

[djibb]

Great, but doesn't last long enough! :-)

[moraisinimputavel]

ohh yeah... smoke a joint.... work in a cylinder head.... then smoke another joint... and back to the cylinder head....

[meanfazer]

under 450 rpm ,about as slow as the bridgeport will run in high gear it is ok but it wont run any faster,this is at an old workshop i was at ....got my own place now and have made my own flycutter,300mm and 50mm solid disc of alloy ,thats a big ass flycutter and it will run at any speed,had it up to 1500 rpm !!!! but it does not need to run anywhere near that speed in reality,I normally use it at about 5-600 rpm when skimming heads.

[cumulo25]

That is a BIG ASS FLYCUTTER. doesn't that wobble and leave a bumpy finish?

[hud42cdo]

bitta reggae music and a v8 being improved-can it get any better?

would have been good to see the tool and toolholder-is it like a angled boring head?

[Marillionado]

So this is how it's done!

[supagog]

wow what a machine people think of everything

[meanfazer]

one of a few shitty ones dotted around the place for quick rough use...dont worry the good stuff is all boxed!!!

[fingpower]

i saw that digital vernier outside of its box...... naughty naughty! lol

[Icutmetal]

No such thing as a "digital vernier;" that's an oxymoron. Digtial or vernier calipers have no moving gear rack like dial calipers and aren't affected the same by chips and coolant. That being said; interesting setup, I'd like to see the amount of flatness lost from table droop. Probably good enough especially with a gasket, but you'll get a see-saw effect on any c-frame or knee-style mill, especially when the part is run past the saddle.

[meanfazer]

I dont think Bridgeport would have allowed for any "table droop" in the design and build of these glorious machines,a well adjusted and maintained Bridgeport with the bedlocks used should will not have any problems like that! mine certainly does not...if you know of one that does it needs servicing! the first thing to do on a machine with a dro fitted is to grab the bed,try to move it towards the back and then front of the machine with the y axis lock on and see what the dro does,try it!
