I saw thisamzing video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMdBIBzGtKI and can't quite figure out how the machine is cutting the hex so perfectly. I do see that the cutter is just a staight bit and see that the millhead is syncronized via drive shaft to the spindle. But with the cutter on the perimeter of the milling head I would think the hex flats would be concaved. So how does the machine actually work?
