Making the Mother of All Cutters - Part 2: Shop Made Tools

Watch the completion of the Mother Of All Cutters (MOAC) in this 40-minute video from Cutting Edge Engineering Australia. Follow along as the massive custom cutter takes shape through precision machining processes including rough milling the gullets on a rotary table, finishing with carbide end mills, and setting up the rotary table vertically for parallel alignment using a dial indicator. Observe the detailed work of precision drilling, custom pocket milling, and delicate M5 x 0.5 tapping that transforms this beast into a functional tool. After milling the radius on each corner and deburring all edges, witness the exciting moment when the arbor is bolted onto the MOAC and installed in the Zayer bed mill for its first test run. This Australian machining video showcases real-world shop-made tooling fabrication techniques and continues the project started in Part 1 of the series.
