Here I am humbly asking for guidance for re machining a VEE Way on my lathe saddle. I was busy studying girls in math class so here I am at age 72 and have forgotten what I learned from girls.
Okay nuff of the funny stuff. So imagine a VEE and you want to take .050 per side of the VEE off in multiple passes with a 70-degree end mill. (35 degrees per side of the end mill) Machining only one side first and then moving to the other side and repeating the same. I am seeking a formula to arrive at how many thou of down/ZEE travel and how many Y travel to achieve .010 depth of cut on each pass. So I am asking for a simple dumbed down explanation to do the math. Or even butter an online calculator that will do the math for me. Thanks in advance.
