    Threading ?s

    I might have added a bit of confusion by bringing up the gummy alu comment. To clarify I was just trying to read between the lines with the OP comment that he wasn’t getting good chips and it was more tearing which to me might have appeared gummy. But you point is extremely valid though, when...

    Threading ?s

    Glad you had some success, will leave others to comment on cutting geometry as grinding cutting tools isn’t one of my strong areas. But something is definetly wrong if it gouging and not cutting, my initial thought would be too deep a cut, without enough horse power (as alu can be gummy)...

    Threading ?s

    Agree with this comment from hopper, as will be easier than learning on SS, I would go with 12L14 over 1018 in your generic CRS.

    Threading ?s

    Will add a few thoughts, in addition to the comments from shopshoe: A) Run a file across your stock, if it skips or doesn’t scratch .... I would be looking for new stock! How does it turn down in normal operation with a normal cutter, test number 2? B) are you plunging straight in i.e is...

    anybody know what this came off of?

    Suggest it is a bloody big 90 degree fixture plate for a weld table, mill or grinder! At an uneducated guess.

    Jacobs chuck taper.

    Plenty of ideas about the correct way to do it above, so won’t add to that advice. But will add the comment the main reason why i wouldn’t use a collet as first suggested.... unless in a pinch. Is that you will likely increase any runout error. Cheers, .adrian
