Ulf: Nice job, looks great. Does it work as well as you'd hoped. I've new to machining and all the flycutters I've seen have the cutter mounted at an angle. About how much material can you remove per pass. Thanks for posting your picture. Roger

Hi Ulf,
Good idea.Will make one too.Currently using endmill with mutli passes which does not look good.

Hi!
Today I used my fly cutter more or less for the first time. Removed 0,75 mm in a pass but 0,50 mm is more suitable. Today it was in brass. Worked just fine for my Little mill AMA 16 VF

That is a neat idea, must make one too some time

Thanks

Hi. I'm new to this group so I am just looking around. I like your fly cutter. I have also watched the YouTube video :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-iVLgILSFY. A very similiar idea except the tool bit goes in on the angle. I've got this one in my plans for the near future for using on my little Unimat DB200. I'll keep it on the small size as my work is all very small. Thanks for posting your project.
