The Best Mill Tip You Will Ever Get --WATCH THIS ENTIRE VIDEO--

hey guys joe pie here advanced innovations welcome back to the shop the shorty video that i am going to shoot for you moments from now is going to hopefully sink in and be a trick that you will keep with you forever because when it comes to squaring up material from a piece of raw stock decking the top off press it against the back getting a piece of wire decking that off use a little file put over tap it down enragements repeat by the time you're done you have wasted so much time this trick is one of those bulletproof i should have thought of that years ago and it's a fantastic way to to approach a raw block you don't need one two three box you don't need spacers you don't need wire you don't need a square you don't need anything you walk up to the machine parallels cutter in boom done fantastic you're gonna like it let's take a walk out watch it happen this is a piece of one by two by about two inch long 6061 aluminum it is saw cut on both ends and all the saw burrs have been removed now the normal procedure that i've seen a lot of people follow is put this on some shallow parallels deck the top off deburr it press the new side against the stationary jaw on the back put a ball put a wire put a lollipop whatever against this surface here smash it down clean this off flip it over against your parallels do the exact same thing deck this off now that you have two parallel sides and one flat back onto parallels deck to top all right now we have a parallel block with two square sides you set it up you squeeze it you do some kind of mickey mouse indication or god knows what let's actually this way put a little square in there little one two three block and you get it to go like this squeeze it deck it flip it boom parallel dust it off done no that is not the way to do it i'm going to show you a good trick it's going to give you everything you need in one shot one shot watch this using a three quarter inch two flute high speed cutter i have this one eighth of an inch worth of grip here the more grip you have the more likelihood of this block being skewed by the grip if your part is unsure about how square everything is and you want it to sit flat on parallels use tall parallels good place to start all right let's watch what happens [Applause] hint number one because of the rotation of the cutter spinning clockwise and doing basically a climb cut towards the outside any burr that would be created is driven into the material and removed it's basically non-existent burrs front and rear so tip number two take a very light superficial pass around the entire part if you have sufficient material that you can grip on and remove at a later operation finish the net shape of the part right now finish it you've got five sides accessible you might as well address five sides but make sure whatever web you leave gripped down here on the jaw that it doesn't flex from the pressure and drive the part up changing some of your dimensions gonna step over to my well-used scotch-brite wheel put on my superman cape take the burrs off i'll be right back okay big deal you say you have a nice top deck and you have dusted off all four sides of the block what does that effectively get you well you can now decrease the height of your parallels and when you tighten the parallel down using a dead blow hammer not a brass hammer because they bounce tap this part down against your parallels and both parallels should lock you have nice square corners to deal with it is okay to flip the part over and go for the large side parallel cut right now let's do it it is a rock once the part is secured against the parallels you know you're going to create two large parallel surfaces no better condition for squaring up the sides than to grip apart on two large parallel surfaces let's do it okay the four sides done initially are going to serve two purposes this is purpose number one it gives you parallel and square corners to do the back large side operation normally that's not the way to do it because you can't trust that the sides are square to the bottom this way you can trust it now watch this this is the money right here no goofing around take the parallels out take the part out springs out shorty parallel okay normally you're gonna hang it off the side of the block right hang it off the end of the vise put another piece down on the end tap it down boom boom boom waste a lot of time no short parallel right now against the back one of the finished edges one of the four finished edges that you have to work with is now your square when that sits in there against that parallel it is going to sit this block in there square you can't miss there you go you don't need a square you don't need any assistance at all that block is now positioned in there perfectly square to the sides that are vertical and this side up here is now true to the world it's just a fantastic way to do it you can clean this block up now and take all the extra material off take it down to size create your other features do whatever you have to do it is truly pointless to show that at this time ah i guess i'll do it anyway let's run through it why not find cutting from the outside controls that burr remember that that is just absolutely beautiful going deep in the jaws like this is going to guarantee you've got a nice vertical surface i do this all the time without tapping it down it works little z adjustment here we go this would be the spot where you would put your 1 by 2 by 3 blocks in there use your square mess around trying to get this side true because chances are this was raw material and you had something to tap down against too but this is a true surface this is square to this and this so now we use the other side okay down it goes [Music] all right when i flip this over i am not going to do the climb cut just so you can see the difference in the edge that it leaves any birds that are present with a climb style are superficial i would still file them off of course but i'm going to do the next one in the conventional format and show you how many more burrs this can actually form okay this is the edge that we're looking for right here we're going to compare these i'm going to do the front and the rear opposite we're going to call this the conventional approach and the one that is not marked will be the climb approach same depth let's take a look i don't want this thing off camera for a second nobody's going to be able to complain without nothing here here we go front side conventional approach got some hangers got some serious hangers on there backside not gonna lie to you there is witness of material displacement you can feel it but it's not like the saw blade you're gonna find on the front you're not gonna find any of this heavy stuff with the climb approach there you go four sides perfectly square two sides parallel minutes that is the way to go and like i said if you can get the net shape out of the part and still have material to grab onto use the exact same technique five sides in the first set up flip it deck it done i'm going to do a t-nut video just to prove how well it works and when you do a side to side movement like this if you record your numbers it also gives you the center line of the part this is bulletproof enjoy all right i promised you something valuable to take with you forward and if this was one of those pumped or forehead moments where you go geez why don't you think of that hit that subscribe button down there help me grow my channel i will not steer you wrong the advice that i give you is born of experience i'm just going to leave it at that thanks for watching i hope you enjoyed what you saw stay well stay safe joe pine advanced innovations in austin texas i'm out
