I would have thought that axminster specified that outline to suit the spindle moulders they sell. I am sure they then send them off to a tool maker to make them. Said toolmakers could make anysize cutters I am sure! Suggest you talk to Axminster and see if they would accept a different profile or at least give you the contact details of their tool maker. If not find a tool maker near ou! HTH Will |

I would have thoght any good machine shop with a decent CNC set-up could produce what ever you want :scratch: |

It's been a 'back burner' project for me to cut them out on my Fanuc wire EDM machine - they could be cut to profile in the hardened and tempered state just needing final grinding. It's not very far up the list from the bottom in terms of urgency though :med: |

Thanks guys. What an obvious solution "go to a toolmaker" I feel a bit stoopid for not thinking of doing that. I will talk with Axminster but also look locally in my part of the wild north west of England and see if we have any toolmakers. Again thank you for your help. Best Regards Richard |

Hi there, all, Andrew, an academic question: will your EDM machine cut the profile complete with relief? If so, which do you set over, the cutter blank or the wire? |
