Shop Made Tools

I can see all the pictures that were blocked by Photobucket - added the extension to Chrome, so anyone with Chrome can "archive" it. Deleted pictures - that's of course a different issue.

I was originally going to make my own brass thumbscrews, and even made my own rope knurls, and form tool to do it, but found these cheap enough on amazon while looking for the setscrews that I lost interest in making them. I hate making hardware if I don't have to....

Next major project for this is an er32 collet chuck. I've had it drawn up, the collets, and nut sitting there for a couple years too lol. We should all compare our unfinished projects list..........

Do you have the part# on those thumbscrews?

Thanks, I will give them a try.

yes U can grind A LOT off of them...

I keep trying to make good parts with dull tools but, darn, I'm just not good enough. So have to resort to sharpening.

Made a home made carbide grinder and decided rather then have a table that adjusts for angle would make holders to set the angle.

Carbide parting inserts should be touched up at first sign of getting dull because not much can be ground off them. Touching up can double the life of these spendy buggers.




Putting finger on swing arm holds insert in place for grinding.

Brother If you go to a jewelry supplies house you can buy diamond ball burs in an assortment small enuf to add the chip breaker into it, just be sure to photo it on ur fone before you start! good luck!

Last time I made tool holders I had to do them one at a time in a milling attachment in the atlas. I can't wait for the chance to make a new batch now that I have the mill.

Impressive.

The milling attachments I have used would be almost as slow as filing them by hand, given the small cut that they would allow before jumping all over the place.

Yes, the South Bend Milling Attachment should have been called a Small Drilling Attachment.

I hold a drill spindle in it to drill holes on a PCD with indexing the chuck by a woodpecker on a 64 Tooth gear on the gear end of the lathe.

For more rigid knurling, I made a clamp to mount the Milling Vyce on the lathe bed.
Only suitable for a knurl the width of the knurl wheel.

With all the Threads about grinding tool bits maybe this will help!!!!
The company below is reproducing the SB grinding fixture with capacity to 1/2" square.
Should help get a tool that cuts right the first time!

Still using my original South Bend unit very handy.

I finished up my heat treating oven today. Learned some stuff partway through and had to rejigger it a bit, but it works, so far. Got it up to 950 C and it was still climbing, not sure just how far it can go.

I hope to use it for case hardening mild steels and for through hardening and tempering tool steels.

Seems like I'll be needing a surface grinder soon.
