I agree and will build it up with weld and grind it back
Mfletch,
Just thinking this insert holder would have made a nice Project thread or a thread in the Lathe Tools. I'm just saying that's all Smile

Hi Fletch

Building the tip up with weld will be just the job Thumbsup

Nothing better than making and using ones own tooling Popcorn


Rob

Forgot I have an old RF25 mill/drill

Holy crap Rob! Those are some nice tools you've made Drool Drool

I see along with your shiny camera you've acquired a matte camera. Very nice! Thumbsup

Hi Rob I recall seeing the build post on MM and that is a fantastic bit of kit. Could you most some info on the orange clamps you are using to secure that "wee" block of steel?


RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - PixMan - 07-24-2014

I'm quite impressed with those toolholders Rob, and since I'm in the business of "knowing cutting tools" I can tell you they look as good if not better than many of the commercially made ones.

Myself I just can't justify making something I can buy for little money (on eBay or other seller's websites), though I applaud that level of effort! I also want to know if the finish is a grit blast or some plating (or both?)

BTW, your photography is far above"tyro" level too. What are you using for lighting?


RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - mfletch - 07-25-2014

Very nice Rob what professional work you've done on the tool holders

Puts my effort to shame but it's it good to make your own as long as they work and save money
