Hey everyone, here is Part 5 (polishing & cutting the cutter teeth) from the series I am doing about making multi tooth cycloidal cutters. As you will notice in the video I am using my Atlas benchtop horizontal mill for cutting out the cutter blank teeth. I thought I would try this as I do not use this mill very much and I can leave it set up for this part of the process in making these cutters. The feeds and speeds I used were very slow, it was my experiment to try and avoid creating any burrs from the saw blade. Didn't help much so I will be going back to higher rates for this (at least I cleaned up the shop while waiting for it to cut through each time ).
In the next video. Part 6, I will be cutting the actual pinion.
Hope you find this interesting and informative, please feel free to make some comments here.
Have a great day, William
