Hi, i am very much a rookie and need advice on making the 30 degree slot in this slide whistle http://neme-s.org/images/PDF_Files/Slide_Whistle.pdf.
i was wondering if maybe grind a bit for my fly cutter or possibly use an end mill with my angle vise some how. couldnt find my slitting saws the other night and really dont want to be filing a whole lot if i can help it.
and as a second question, would you mill that slot before drilling the tube and reaming it, or after? as in possibly turn the outside diameter then cut the 30 degree noth first then do the drilling?
i also may have a couple of 60 degree tipped endmills but will have to dig around some of the box's of used bits i purchased from ebay just to start building up some tooling for my mill/lathe. if i were to make 2 cuts with that could i come up with that 30 degree angle with it?
once i get home and lay hands on my tools it may come to me, but been trying to lay this one out in my head and looks simple but just cant figure that one out.
thanks
