45PlottHound Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 OK quick question. To those of you who have cut frames for a Clark\Para\Lissner ramp, how did you get the radius on the frame all the way to the side of the standing lug slot?

DWFAN Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 How about by hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 How about by hand? You are going to be old and gray by the time you finish. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKSComp Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 If you are talking about the radius that wraps from the flat to the mill cut, I use a small scraper and just scrape it on. Dave Schattel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

45PlottHound Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 I ended up doing what DKS suggested. I tried a dremel but there are really no good choices to get right up to the wall and swing the radius. The scraper worked it just too some time in the steel frame.

Sudden Death Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 when I do the clark or the nowlin cuts I remove as much metal just shy of the measurement that I am looking for then I make a carbon electrode and use a EDM machine to burn the wall and radius or the angle that is on the nowlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcschwenke Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I use a 3/8 carbide end mill as well. EDM would work fine also. The Nowlin style cut would benefit more from the EDM than the Clark/Para/Lissner because of the profile and length of cutter needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Ah. I was thinking of the radius at the top of the c/p cut, the lissner radius. Some C/P cuts are 90deg at the top, others have a radius, the lissner radius. Are you guys saying to use a scraper to get the radius/rounded top edge?

I just have access to alot of toys, I probaly make a bigger job out of it than it needs to be ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcschwenke Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 DWFAN, you can cut the top edge in a number of ways. Many do this with a Dremel tool. If you have access to a CNC mill, the best way is with a radius cutter. Sudden Death, I understand and have the same problem. My main job is an engineer but, I also manage our shop with 7 CNC mills, 5 CNC lathes, 3 wire EDM machines, and a Sinker EDM as well. Too many manual lathes & mills to think about. It's nice doing side jobs for myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
