Machining brass branding iron

Community Discussion 🏃🏼 Tools & Speeds

Hi guys , I’m making some branding irons and the first one came out perfect but I’ve lost the feed and speeds I was using. I’m using a 1/8 “ single cutter and a small 30 degree v bit

I take you are using these low cost engraving bits?

There are some feeds 'n speeds for the mk2 to use these with aluminum. That might be as close as you can get?

(The first one.)

Here’s some more on tool libraries that might yield some insight or usable info.

I’m using some cheap ones from Amazon , surprisingly work great. I think I retrieved the numbers I was using in the past. Fingers crossed it all works

Very nice - this is one of the things I would like to do eventually. I ordered one off Etsy that was likely made by another maker for now though.
