I got the normal facemills that take approx. 1/2" square inserts (center
hole), point facing down, but I need to cut (not chamfer) up a 45 deg
incline.
If I could put a round insert in the facemill with any kind of mechanical
stability, I could then do this.
Possible? Inyone done it?

If that's not possible, do they make a face-type mill with the point of the
square insert aiming outward at 45 deg?

Or, I'll just get a face mill that takes round inserts, and hopefully enough
sticks out at 45 deg that I can cut with it up the incline.

Basically what we are trying to do is rough out approx 45 deg cones on a 4th
axis. I could tilt the 4th axis, but it would be a lot easier just to make
the angle move in X-Z with a suitably angled insert.

And if not, then I'll just have to make an angles platform for the 4th axis.

Yeah, no cnc lathe....

Hey, Big Boy, is that a wad (of cash) in yer pocket, or are you just
glad to see me??


If you are looking to get a facemill that can hold octagonal, square
or round inserts with many different inserts to choose from depending
on the material being cut, this company has some cool stuff.
