Extreme High Speed Frame Rate Macro Video of an End Mill in Operation

[RoyG]

Thought some of you might find this video of interest.  The video shows the CNC machining of an Aluminium Camera Housing - nothing unusual in that.   However, interspersed throughout the video, the author has inserted  video clips of the End Mill Operation, where the video has been taken with a special camera which provides extremely high frame rates, i.e. what is commonly referred to as "Slow Motion Video".

These macro slow motion shots provide a unique insight into exactly what is happening at the cutting edge of an endmill.

Interesting view.

He's using a 4-flute endmill, which is not recommended for aluminum in general.

Interesting that he is "climb" milling as well.

The part he doesn't show is the high speed shot of one of those little shavings finding an open pore to stick into my arm...!

Interesting video - thanks!

That sure is a lot of aluminum chips in a very short period of time, very neat.
