Good Day All, Problems with machining sticky material. I find wd40 or crc penetrating fluid in the pressure pack and use the fine tube nozzle to direct the spray right onto the cutting tip . This is good for all sticky materials as it stops the material (soft aluminium) building up on the cutting edge. The cutting edge is usually HSS with at least 15 degrees clearance on the cutting edges, the cutting edges have been honed with a fine all oil stone. When fitting a boss to a hub, as long as the boss and the hub are the same material (same expansion rate) Machine the boss and hub to a firm slide fit ( stops misalignment in assemble) then use Loctite 680 or similar. prep spay both surfaces with activater let dry , then apply Loctite and assemble ( do not waste time in assembly) And if this is not enough scotch key them also (belt and braces job)
