Hi Gene > Way above my pay grade. :( And still the ends of the cutters are at 90 > degrees.
Did you ask a manufacture for a custom ground cutter? I had several end mills custom ground to my specifications by Wedco. I only had to specify the contour shape, in my case cones with different angels and rounded tips, and the material to be machined. Wedco designed the exact shape and ground the tool from tungsten carbide. Dimension were about 8 mm in diameter and 60 mm in length. With some 50-80 EUR it was less expensive than I expected and took only a few days. Another idea: Maybe there is some tool like the one you need used in Turbine blade machining. They use all sorts of strange cutters, here's link to the first PDF Google brought up: http://www.kyocera.com.sg/products/cuttingtools/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/KUA-Turbine_blade-EN.pdf See you Flo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
