Clock wheel cutter
Darren:
Yes Chris, good work, I'm following too with interest.
Agree about using a bolt an not the nut though :thumbup:

Just a quick note as I think I need a lesson in arbours.
I`ve gone right back to Stews first post where he shows a picture of an arbour. Can someone explain, if your cutter, tool, wheel blank ... whatever you are mounting is sat on the nice polished surface with no thread, clearly the bolt isn`t going to be able to be threaded down all the way to clamp it up. So what is normally used to apply the pressure from the bolt onto the piece being held.
I`ve drawn a crappy exadurated diagram incase I`m not making any sense:
Darren - sorry, what are you agreeing with? I thought I should be threading the rod and using a nut not a bolt like I intially did to hold the wheel blank?
NickG:
The length of the plain diameter on your arbor should be marginally less than the thickness of the cutter. You could always put another nut on to lock it but as bogs said, it will try to tighten rather than loosen.
raynerd:
:doh: obvious now! Ta
Chris
bogstandard:
When making arbors like you have, and if they are made to be used again with different thickness cutters, then you would make a recessed washer for each thickness of cutter you are going to be using.
The C-o-C below should explain it. It can be used with a threaded arbor as well as one used with a bolt.
