Yeah, kinda lame title, don't know why I did that.

That made me shiver.

Cool!

Much faster than how I did it.

 

[Farmall450]

Impressive.

That is one HELL of a cutoff tool. An interrupted cut like that and as fast as he is feeding it, normally would tear a cutoff tool to hell and back.

Thanks for posting that up. Very interesting for us Machinist.!!!!

I love ISCAR tools. I use their parting tools exclusively.

we deal with a ton of manganese at work and that stuff is insanely tough to machine. It would be interesting to see that insert stand up to a manganese part with a shape like that.

Where did you ever get that from? It is not illegal to own a piece of track unless you took a cutting torch and cut it out of a rail being used

I'm not a machinist, and even I moved back from the computer screen just in case......

Exactly what I was thinking. Trains aren't the only thing that uses rail like this, all overhead cranes use similar rails in the plant I work in.
