Nice surface finish,chip breaking and cutting speeds. Who uses ceramic on such soft steel anyway?

[zahirani]

@gavinclair2007 this product is a ground up development, so we tested on soft materials first before we go for harder workpiece.

interesting video.nice to see people experimenting.but on the down side,that didnt look anywhwere near a 4.0mm deep cut???!!!

[zahirani]

@m4tty1984 its actuallt 0.4 mm, its typography error. thanks for pointing it out!!

@zahirani you didn't know ceramic would cut 1018 crs?? I would started the test cutting butter or wax.

@TheBodvarg Ever heard of Sarcasm?

@gavinclair2007

that is not a good surface finish its really really por finish

[ROCKNTV1]

not sure by the cam angle but there does not seem to be much relieve on the cutting nose, nice job on the ceramics though, try a more aggressive shape may be

[bbenum2010]

que erreur d'abord le serrage de la pièce et puis lorsque que l'on travail avec de la céramique le métal doit être plus dur que la pastille céramique et le nombre de tour du mandrin doit tournée plus vite et l'etat de surface est orrible.

[TheBodvarg]

thats really really poor surface finish

All Props for trying! Good Job! But I'm sure it's not easy to make one from scratch.

Don't stop. keep investigating, there is lots to learn. Sorry but for this material the faceting of this tool needs to be much more aggressive....but your not far off. This tools composition must be much stronger. you can tell at the last pass, the tip broke. hence the odd chip. Don't listen to these other Huckleberries. ceramic tooling is optimal on a manual...If you know what your doing! good job!
