Cutting Brass Sheet with a Hacksaw Straight cuts in brass sheet can also be made with a hacksaw. Place the brass between two sheets of scrap plywood and clamp all three pieces in a vise. The wood supports the metal during the cut. If you need to see a marked line on the surface of the brass, place a sheet of plywood on the back side of the
Keyslot milling roughing of full slot; Side milling finishing all around the slot, using upmilling to create true square corners; The radial depth of cut should be kept low in finishing operations to avoid deflection of the cutter, which is a major cause of bad surface finish and/or deviation from a
#0183;#32;Take what Gregdavis says about hand feeding brass to the bank! Sooner or later it will get you! Having more than two cutting flutes on the cutter might help a bit, but the idea simply is not safe! Milling slots in thin brass sheet stock is always a coin toss, even when secured to a heavier base in a good vice, it can still grab and tear.
#0183;#32;Thanks for the ideas. The small project is milling four faces on the end of a horizontal round 3/4 bar. Making a lathe chuck key and didn''t want to ruin a nice carbide end mill by having the round stock move in the process. Two points of contact in the mill vise looked iffy?

#0183;#32;Depending on how accurate your slots need to be this may do the trick for you. Bolt or screw rows of flat bar to your plate offset with spacers slightly thicker than the bolt head. Alternatively you can buy strips of aluminum Tslot track and bolt that to your plate. Either way, you will drill far fewer holes and it''s a lot less work.

#0183;#32;All. I am working on a taper attachment and need to mill a slightly curved slot on each end of the plate the guide bar will be resting on in order to adjust the amount of taper. I don''t have a rotary table, etc. Not sure the best way to accomplish that. I would prefer not making a wide...
End milling An end mill makes either peripheral or slot cuts, determined by the stepover distance, across the workpiece in order to machine a specified feature, such as a profile, slot, pocket, or even a complex surface depth of the feature may be machined in a single pass or may be reached by machining at a smaller axial depth of cut and making multiple passes.
#0183;#32;Hi, I''m really new to this type of thing, I don''t even have any of the machines. I make furniture and want to make some of my own hardware. I also make hand saws. I was wondering what the best machine and setup would be to cut a thin slot, .020quot;, about 1/4quot; to 3/8quot; deep, into brass bar
Free Machining Brass C36000 (free machining) brass is the most versatile and commonly used copperalloy bar stock used in both the North and South American Markets, second only to copper itself! It is used to make a variety of screw machine products.
I am building a rocket stove in a tech class using 1/16quot; steel sheet metal. My design involves cutting slots to slip the pieces together. The slots need to by 1/16quot; #215; 1quot; in size. What is the best way to cut these? I have a plasma cutter and a cnc milling machine that I can use as well as other basic fabrication tools. This is what I''m trying
#0183;#32;Milling a Slot in Stainless Tubing Polished brass would look a lot better than stainless and just undersized so the tube would fit tight. I then clamped a half inch round bar to the wood in the open end of the tube and used a wood shim just past where the end of cut would be on the other side.
I remember my dad showing me this drilling brass trick more than 30 years ago. And who better to show you, other than the guys on the Home Model Engine Machinist forum because they really know their stuff when it comes to tricky machining jobs. Here is what Deanofid had to say about an easy way to modify a standard metal HSS drill bit to easily (and safely) drill holes in brass
Milling a Keyway in a Steel Shaft: A keyway is a small slot approximatly 1/4quot; in width and 1 1/2quot; long. You need it when you are putting a pulley on a shaft. It prevents the pulley from rotating on the shaft. I''m building a Thickness Sander and I spent a great deal of time makin
