nice job on the corner weld.
I didn't do this today but hope to finish with it sometime today. I'm trying to make a cutter (first time/one) soooo was hoping for some advise on how to put some flutes that will cut on the big end of this rod. I need it so that it will cut from (to me the back/drill end) it only has to go thru a single layer thats about 14 gauge probably 4140.
What I'm hoping for to be able to just run a mill cutter down the shank so in about 3 or 4 places, what I don't know is do I need to undercut the leading edge of the flute.
Problem with just running a drill bit thru the hole is that there is a smaller hole in front of the one that I need to enlarge, and I can really get to it with a bit from the back.
OOOh yea the rod in the picture is O1 drill rod, and yes I will harden it.
