Smoke and chip remover when boring or threading all the way through a part.
I set up my vacuum cleaner to suck through the spindle bore and exhaust the fumes out of the chimney. Pulls away all of the smoke and chips easily.
Made my first piece ever using titanium. Rear cap to fit a DM 1.5" tube and accept a 13/16-16 muzzle brake.

That would be the rear cap.
Nice job. Titanium isnt as hard to machine as some people claim it is.

Re: Patent Pending + First Titanium Piece
Edited my post to fix the mistake.
It wasn't too bad to machine at all. Getting the one inch chunk cut off from the ten inch piece that I ordered....now that was another story.

Pulling a vacuum on the spindle is inventive to say the least.I use a fan in the window to suck out the smoke!

Re: Patent Pending + First Titanium Piece
Another thing I noticed and forgot to mention, the vacuum kept the part cool!
I should probably make something to hold the hose to the gear cover instead of using the fixture I made to hold the hose close to the back of the spindle.
Unfortunately, in my basement, there aren't any windows that open.Pulling a vacuum on the spindle is inventive to say the least. I use a fan in the window to suck out the smoke!

Re: Patent Pending + First Titanium Piece
I would add a activated charcoal filter to your set up,smoky oil will sink up the place.The air movement is great but dose little to keep the tool cool.I use a product called Cool Tool that is mixed with water.It works very well will not cause rust and is fairly inexpensive.Liquid cooling right on the cutting edge is best.A drip system built from a pop bottle can be pressed into service and it will eliminate the smoke or use a spray bottle.I reserve this type of cooling only for hardened steels or Titanium alloys where the heat can be intense.Flood, mist or low temp air cooling systems work well but can be expensive or require a compressor.#40Fan wrote:Another thing I noticed and forgot to mention, the vacuum kept the part cool!
