how to make a end mill cutter(plane) by a vertical milling machine.



Name of the job: Making a boring cutter on vertical milling cutter

What is boring cutter: Boring cutter is a bar , we can make holes on any ferrous or non-ferrous  metal by it’s sharp edges. There have 2 or more cutting blades at last end of boring bar.Cutting blades are attached by screw bolt on catted shape on base metal bar.


Include instruments:
1.    Slide caliper
2.    Steel rule
3.    A solid cylindrical iron bar with essential diameter.
4.    Emery paper.
5.    Adjustable rang
A.  Steps of manufacturing:  To make a boring bar , steps of working given below-
A.  At first we have to choice a tool steel bar for desire Dia. Here have to remind that the cylindrical bar must be larger Dia then biggest Dia of boring bar body.

B.   Now fixed length of boring cutter with extra metal for facing . sheer these from full length bar.
C.  Sat this bar on lathe chalk for plane turning operation.

D.  Now sat the cutting tool in tool post and make plane turning operation on boring bar . which shown as (1) , in pic.

E.   Now take a tapper turning on fixed measure on boring bar . the catted part shown  as number (2).

F.   After finished second step of turning , sat tool post for tapper operation in noted angle( 15- 25 degree).

G.  Make tapper turning on bar at part of (3) , which also shown on drawing.

H.  At last make a plain turning on gripper end of boring bar. This part shown as (4) in drawing.




I.      Now attach this job on a vertical milling machine to make a complete gripper.
J.      And do this operation carefully so that gripper is get a shape in fixed size .
K.  After that, start to cut cutting blade slot , where cutting blades are attach by screw / some tool are not designed for attach blades , there cutting head attached by brass welding.
L.    After final finishing on cylindrical grinding machine , and emeri   paper , then send this job to inspection section of industry.
