Hogging out on a shaper

[Ady1Participant @ady1]

Oh and only one blade needed, this time it survived no problem

Eclipse hacksaw blades are fab-u-lous

The job took 9 days again, about 4 hours a day with minimal intervention on my part

btw The original hogging out job has been done, now got a 2nd big vice and made a little brother for mounting into the big vice for teeny bits

Shaping this steel with 5% cobalt was a doddle

No chance of facing it with 5% cobalt on the lathe though, not even close

Cracked it!

And here we have WKE45 hss cruising through this stuff down to the finishing skim phase, not a piece of carbide in sight and only one pre-job tool sharpening required

ooh I'm a happy bunny

Anyone care to guess how I did it?

Fed straight into the chuck.

I must have put the answer into another thread, twit

I put it on the backgear and the tuff HSS did a great job at slow speed, much better than high speed and no chipping issues that you can get with carbide

My first reaction was – he must have hell of a surface speed at that diameter…
