Andy's Christmas 460 build

[Dennis Cahoon]

Thanks. They are hard to grind that's for sure, I tried to resharpen one and didn't turn out too well, must try again.

You need a green wheel to grind carbide......... or tungston for the tig torch.

This is what I bore with. CCMT insert. Set the squish angle on the compound, bore to depth, then cross feed the compound.

This is what I was alluding to in my first post about grinding the end of a bar, drilling, and tapping for an insert.

I also read that guys would bed their cutters in lead to dampen vibration. . . Seems like a good idea.

Here's some ideas for y'all. . . The bars are made from CR (just 1018), and the cutters are made from drill bit shanks.

I don't know many guys that fab/machine that don't have broken drill bits laying in the goody box.

Thanks, was wondering about that.

My 460 is home

I just got my 460 back from Eric today. WOW! This thing is sweet. What a difference. Its raining here in Minnesota today so I only got to make a few cuts with it, but I am very impressed. I got a few pics of it just sitting in the garage, I will get some action video of it this weekend. I cant say thank you enough to Eric for doing this for me.

Nice work Eric, and thanks for the picture, made it all make sense.

Now you have no use for that 064 so give it to me.

Oh, I still "NEED" it.

You are quite welcome Andy.
Keep good fuel, clean filter and most of all a sharp chain on it and it will last you a LONG time.
Have Fun but most of all saw safe.
Merry Christmas enjoy

Not to be a bummer but you'd have been better off with a 660 in that size wood...

:biggrin:

 

[Metals406]

Dude, I don't know. . . If you're gonna be cutting wood that size, ya might want a ported 066!

Hahaha, posted at the same time as Meatsaw. LOL

Those videos were pretty good. I think you might need a hot 880 for the log in the first video.

 

[Fifelaker]

That thing sounds angry and cuts like it also.
