What Did You Buy Today?

Dial it in whatever you want , the radius does not have anything to do with depth of cut .

 

[extropic]

If you are using a carbide insert with a .016” radius, and you want to dial in as small of a DOC as possible, what is the smallest DOC that you can dial in?

I don't think the corner radius has anything to do with the minimum DOC.
Minimum DOC is effected by many factors (workpiece material/hardness/strength, machine stiffness/condition, cutting edge material/sharpness to name a few), but corner radius isn't a primary consideration, IMO.

Cutting tool corner radius is a primary consideration regarding surface finish, tool pressure and fillet radii.

In an effort to caulk all the nooks and crannies of the Tetris garage I had some time to do some antique shopping with my honey and stopped at a garage sale on the way that looked promising. Turns out the guy’s dad was an old school electronics tech and was getting rid of his stash. There were 4 great old style bin units full of electronics parts and it would have been criminal to buy them only to dump the parts so I passed. Lots of other cool stuff but the one that caught my eye was a little Lortone 3a tumbler. Always wanted a small parts tumbler and all he wanted was $1, sold! Next stop was a big antique store we check once every couple of years. All the tools were waaay over priced but outside sitting on a rack in the weather was a pretty nice old case that looked like it would be the perfect size for my air bearing flute cutter. $20, sold! Case fits perfect, just needs a couple of spots of the cover glued down and maybe some side handles. The tumbler I was surprised to find out on eBay it can be an expensive thing, whodathunk?

Met a fella that bought 13 pallets of big box store display items, tools. I bought this miter saw. 4 years old but never plugged in. This 12” saw came with a dewalt blade and 2 60 volt batteries, all still sealed in new packages. Batteries are dated 2022. Set the blade aside and put my Freud blade on it.
Was covered in pretty serious dust but cleaned up great. Not bad for $400

Got my money back from the over under reamer set that was over and nominal. 6 out of the 7 under reamers were at nominal, not 0.001" under size. Good to have received a full refund including shipping.

Also arriving today, an L&I 533.2485 6 flute straight reamer. And guess what, it is actually on size. Only took four tries to get an on size reamer that I ordered. Of course I had to test the reamer. The pins were an interference fit to the reamed hole, as designed.
Slowly, I am learning a lesson here...

Well, I finally had some tools arrive that I purchased over the last couple of months, freight isn't as quick as it used to be.



VIS micrometers and case, 75-100, 100-125 & 125-150mm, poor pictures in the auction and only showed the 3 micrometers which cost me US$45 and when they arrived I wondered what was in the package, it seems I got standards, and the wooden case. Now I've got a full set of VIS metric micrometers 0-150mm



Also had this Starrett set arrive S906M, which is new complete with the Starrett cardboard box, bargain price also



Sometimes metric tools are too cheap to pass by US$5 buy now and it has carbide faces


This also has carbide faces and vernier scale 0.002mm



Also added a Fowler Girod-Tast indicator to my collection



And a USA Starrett 709MA indicator for my collection also



I've been looking for a set of these Moore & Wright small hole guages for sometime, but haven't wanted to pay the prices most have been asking, lucked onto this set for a good price.

Some might think I've got a problem, Is there a support group for toolaholics?
