Fly cutting, which is also called single point milling, is one of the most versatile milling operations. It is done with a single-point cutting tool shaped like a lathe tool bit. It is held and rotated by a fly cutter arbor. You can grind this cutter to almost any form that you need, as shown in Figure 8-34. Formed cutters are expensive. There are times when you need a special form cutter for ...

For example, if you were to try to fly cut a 3" swath in mild steel, you would have 100 X 3.82 / 3" = 127 rpm. This is a starting point and you would try speeds above and below that to optimize the cut ...

view moreI'd set the rpm to something close to that suggested for cast iron sfm (refer to feeds & speeds in Machinery's Handbook- probably something between 40-100 rpm), and put a radius on the cutter edge (and correct the tram). That much radius out from the spindle may be unavoidably limber, particularly on a light mill- so go easy on the depth of cut & feed.
