Take a look at the video – the whole assembly is disassembled. The motion is done by hand.

When you moved the cross slide and the compound slide back and forth with the abrasive compound did you do it by hand?
Or did you move it back and forth by threading it back and forth with the lead screws?

These can be tricky on a small mill – but delrin should be easy. You’ll want to turn it very slow – think of it like a 3″ tool. I’d start around 750 RPM and experiment with both RPM and feed rate (e.g. IPM). I have previously cut delrin with a slitting saw with a very nice surface finish.

I wanted to get your advice, if possible, on using a slitting saw, manually. I just saw your vid on using a slitting saw to cut delrin and wanted to touch base with you on this, now (if it’s ok, of course). I have a Sherline 5500 [manual] mill and just received a few slitting saws, how do I use them…manually? I went to sherline site but it doesn’t really go into details about feeds, only speeds…can you possibly help?
