Alumihog, alumahog, aluma hog.... what is it and where do you get it?

[Derf]

I just acquired a CC specialty 182A-MC right angle tool.

I've got a set of 1/8" double cut carbide burrs, but I see lots of people reference single cut burrs and something called alumihog? I did a google search and found something that looks like my end mills with replaceable inserts.

What bits are you using to hog out ports, and where do you buy them?

Not that thing. It has been years since I bought one. Single cut eats fast be careful.

A single cut can jump out of the cut real quick and you can have some terrible collateral damage.

Check out cc specialty they are pricey best I remember

Everything I see here is a double cut carbide, a single cut, or a diamond burr...

Is an Alumihog just a single cut burr?

Get a hold of @Armbru84. The company he works for has a good selection of them in a catalog

Kev says they work very well also.

Is this an alumihog? It is a NF (Non Ferrous) single cut burr.

Yes

You don’t want to start fast. With a right angle.


Get in there with some diamond burrSmooth things out. Also or starting out place electrical tape on the walls. When (not if) you slip the walls will be protected.

cc sells them, but there not in there book.

That’s the link. I think they have free shipping right now. I have several...you have to buy 8 online to get that price unfortunately.

 

[tree monkey]

I do like that price, any other shapes?

I like the double cuts, pretty smooth and they last a long time, I spray them with wd40 and they don’t clog and it leave a shiny finish, and they aren’t too aggressive cutting

Start with the one in the tool, the two to the left are from CC, the other two to the right are solid carbide and were my favorites to use.

The two from CC, I only used that for roughing the exhaust on the 7910.

The two small carbide on the right have an OD of 1/8", the one in the tool is HSS and is just shy of 3/16".

Fred,

I’ve never used an alumahog in a right angle. Not sure if the tool will take the torque for long. I do use them often on the straight handles. They remove a lot of material fast.

When you’re doing transfers, the tough part is the ridge of plating, not the aluminum itself. I’d be worried that the hog would chip the plating.

I’ve got a few single cut burrs. I get them from Buckeye carbide and they last a good long while. I prefer the double cuts myself, but the singles give a nice finish if you hold them at the right rpm with a steady hand. Tend to jump around more than the double cuts, at least for me.

Anyone know of a place that sells some good LEFT handed bits? I’ve got the one from CC and it’s very aggressive. If you’ve done many saws, you’ll understand. The PTO side upper is just in the wrong orientation for the right angle bits to not want to chatter like crazy.
