CNC

Do face mill angles matter – square shoulder, 45 degree, what’s the big difference ?

A face mill is subjected to two components of force – a radial force and an axial force. The radial force causes the arbor to bend sideways. It causes vibrations, poor surface finish, and reduces the life of the bearings in spindle.


Face milling cutter – forces


Effect of radial force on face mill

 

On a square shoulder mill the force is almost all radial, while on a 45 degree face mill is it half radial and half axial. On a 45 degree face mill, since the radial force is halved, vibration and chatter are reduced. Because of the entry angle, the shock load is reduced each time that a new insert comes in contact with the part. Surface finish improves, and so does spindle life. You can use a much higher feed rate, so machining time is reduced.

Action point
Use a 45 degree cutter wherever possible. Use a square shoulder face mill only when:
1. You need a square shoulder on the part.
2. The part has a weak structure or thin walls, and you need to reduce the axial force.

Etc.

Dinner at Barbecue Nation

Had dinner a while ago at a restaurant called Barbecue Nation. Its USP is that you can make your starters on your own personal grill, which is embedded in your table. You get the raw material (various meats and vegetables, paneer, mushrooms) that has been pre-marinated, and a collection of barbecue sauces. You shove whatever you want onto skewers and put them on your grill. You decide when it’s done, and dig into it.

After the unlimited starters, if you still have some space left in your stomach you roll over to the buffet counter. All at a fixed price – not cheap, but definitely paisa vasool considering it’s ‘all you can eat’, and considering the good food and ambience. For the booze (of which there is a large selection) you pay extra. If you down a vodka shot in one go, the waiter shows his appreciation by blowing a whistle. He’s more likely showing the management’s happiness at the extra revenue you’ve given them, and the even higher revenue you’re going to give them as you drink even more.

I was taking the ‘all you can eat’ seriously, and I thought the manager was giving me dirty looks, thinking “When we say ‘all you can eat’ we don’t really mean it, you pig”. I also imagined that the only thing that kept him from attacking me with one of my starter kabab skewers was that I’d downed 3 vodka shots, and the revenue from the booze was some consolation for him.

It’s a chain of 40-odd restaurants across India. And no, Pooja Bedi isn’t hanging around in the restaurant when you go there to eat – she’s just hanging around in the poster.
