Building a box tool

<< < (2/2)

shipto:
Well the parting off tool obviously rubbed rather than cut and I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, I am assuming blade angle possibly.
There is 29mm between the centre of the stock and the centre of the pivot and I had the blade positioned so the tip of the blade went through the centre of the stock.
Maybe someone could give me some pointers?

philf:
Shipto,

Did the stock material match the bush this time or was it 6mm in a 1/4" bush?

Without a scale drawing it's difficult to tell if the parting tool geometry is correct.

Phil.

shipto:
I have looked at it for ages now and I am going to give up on this idea and go back to feeding the blade in straight on a slide instead. I may save this for the future as I really need to get these bolts done and as a nasty solution I will bolt a couple of guides to use a hacksaw for now. It will mean an extra bit of work to clean up the back but will get the job done.
