Making A Face Mill For The Milling Machine

G'day everyone,

In this video I will be making a face mill for the milling machine. A face mill is a cutter that is used on large milling machines to quickly remove large sections of material. Face mills however are aimed towards large, production machining, and I doubt that any of the off the shelf models would work well on my milling machine. However since I have a small machine shop making one to suit my mill should be possible. I picked up some SEHT inserts for the job. I will be making the body from some cold drawn steel. I hope you enjoy the video.
