Pros and cons of climb milling in wood

[HiltonSteve]

Think that we are on a different wavelength slightly, i am not talking about the cutter pushing off as you describe I am trying to say that the effect of climb milling pulls the work towards (or across) the cutter.

In the 2 sketch's below I have shown worse case scenario....


The sketch shows the two operators standing next to the machine, Monkey B has bigger balls than Monkey A and decides to stand at the end of the table in the 'danger zone'. Monkey A puts a 4mm cut on a 50mm x 20mm piece of aluminium bar and starts a climb milling cut.




Monkey A notices the clamps are not very tight but does not stand back or stop the feed, Monkey B can not see this from where he is standing and moves closer to see what the noise is. Job comes loose and gets pushed towards him with enough force to embed the job in his chest. Monkey A has no injuries and calls for an ambulance.





Monkey C says, "can't believe that we are having a discussion about this"..... Lights up a fag...


Best get on with some work.....
