The following series of images display a pocket machining process. The rims that are to be machined have come from various Harley Davidson motorcycles. They are purchased from a local company here in Corpus Christi and then delivered to us for pocket design and machining.

  The first five images show a partial process of the flange profile operation. The last three images show the 2 pieces brought together. There are two videos demonstrating a roughing operation using a Iscar 1" end mill with two inserts.
  The cutting tools roughing operating is at 2563.22rpm/30.7586ipm (inches per minute). Axial depth is .1875 a_p, and the radial depth is .300+ a_e.
  
  The first video shows the mentioned roughing operation using a tool that has a 1.4" reach, the second is showing a tool that has a 3.1"reach. Both tools are used in conjunction with one another to achieve part depth and increase cutter insert life as well as rigidity for the first half of the operation.
