Just arrived, a shiny new carbide insert flt cutter!


Any words of wisdom before I start making chips with it?

Let us know how well it works.

I have that little fly cutter. It works very well. Be careful to not let the insert hit the workpiece before it gets up to speed. I've chipped the insert that way. If you take care of the inserts (don't bang them into things!) they last a long time and give a great finish. I use mine on a PM25 mill. I bought mine due to a strong recommendation from @mikey. Glad I bought it.

Thanks! I've chipped enough carbides using the other style fly cutter that I switched to using HSS bits with it.


I hope to have better results with the new carbide insert one.
