Good thing the cutter was held on with the supernatural power of TORX, otherwise it could have been really bad.

Machine crash or did an insert just fail?

It’s impressive how such a tiny screw can hold the inserts in.

Ingersoll?

Fucking stainless steel is what happened on the before one. More than likely what happened to the repaired one also. The stuff is evil.

I now Torx all the things — cars, carpentry, all of it. I have a dream that one day I’ll sit my grandkids on my lap and regale them with stories of flathead screwdrivers gouging my hand, or Phillips heads camming out and stripping the screw.

this could be THE next jb weld testimonial....... “ a machinist on the internet, used JB, to repair the cutter face of his primary bit, after some rube where he works destroyed it. had he not had the quick thinking to use JB, the time the piece of equipment would of been down could of cost the company DOZENS of dollars. not only in parts,and lost work, but cups of trendy coffee consumed. JB weld, ask for it by name”..........

really though, thats some nice work getting that bit put back. thats a solid fix.......

I’m hoping this was a CNC machine failure and not someone managing to wreck the tool that badly on a manual machine?

CNC fun time. I didn’t wreck this one but I assume what happened is that it wasn’t stopped in time when the inserts went dull.

Oh my God.i hate Phillips and Flathead so much. I can’t wait for everything to be TORX.

Yup yup. We really like them until you chip an insert and take out the all important corner that takes the brunt of the load. Then we just run it until shit like this happens.

We mostly use them for semi finishing after roughing a block in with a Time-s cutter. Then we follow it with a Sandvik for finishing. At least that’s our standard in our Tree machines.

They last forever like this, many of ours are 15yrs old.

Working on getting a Pokolm cutter for the Tree machines that can ruf/finish in one shot right now.

What’s a Time-s cutter? Can’t find any information on the interwebs. We don’t use the Ingersoll as much as we used to but they sure are handy to have around. We mostly use Helical endmills for everything and do our own(made up) version of high efficiency milling.

I worked on a job where we had to set a valve in the right position. Cheap designers saving a few fractions of a cent with a internal hex screw... You could see the screw ‘un-cam’ and turn as the machine pulled the bit out straight and moved the flow out of spec.

This is the Time-S we use. 25mm version. 2300rpm, 230ipm, .600" so, .020" sd.

If you do a lot of heavy material removal, these are a godsend: http://www.emuge.com/products/end-mills/multi-cut/standard-length/2869a0500  I run them in soft steel and stainless. In soft steel with a trochoidial toolpath I can run .750" sd, .100" so, @ 3200rpm, 30ipm.

The Emuge site will not load the picture of the Time-s tool. It will load that rougher E/M though. WTF? That is so annoying. Thank you anyways. Trochoidal is so cool.

Oh okay gotcha. Looks like the corners are hammered on it lol.

It’s been crashed a couple times (blown up inserts lead to holder “machining”), but it’s a trooper. We run the hell out of it and have been for 10+yrs.
