Fly cutter - first try

[ncollar]

Canobi
I just made a big facing cutter. I need a cutter for it and not really sure what size I want to use. My thoughts were to put 4 cutters on it but to get then all in perfect setting would require a tool and cutter grinder. My dis was from 1 inch thick cool roll 5 inches in diameter. I cut the drive pin from an old bar bell weight bar. Cut down to .750 and bore the hole in the disc .004 smaller. I heated the disc on my turkey roaster until it was red hot, nice and slow. When it got there I took the pin out of a glass of frozen water and dropped it into the hole and gave one tap for good measures. When it got cold I put it in a ER32 .750 collet and it had warpped some but not much. Turned it and trued it up and it looks nice. I can not wait to slip a cutter to it. I'll get a pic tomorrow.
