Bernd:
You did what? :jaw: (I did it this way ... lined up the cutter to the main body slot and then pushed the swining section gently by hand into the rotating cutter.) Didn't you consider that a bit dangerous?
I want a picture of your hand to see if all fingers are still attached. :lol:

Glad the tool worked out for you. I still don't know if it would work in my Logan with all that backlash. Guess I'm just going to have to make one and see.

Thanks for sharing Darren.

Darren:
I just knew someone was going to pick me up on that .... :doh: I almost put a disclaimer in ....... :coffee:

Please bear in mind you'd have to try pretty damned hard to get anywhere near the cutter in this case as it was well hidden. The swing bit was clamped with its screw and could only be pushed open if anywhere at all. In all honesty I did put some thought into it first as I do like my fingers as they are.

As it was there was nothing to it, cept perhaps I'd say don't be so silly and try this at home boys and girls ...... :thumbup:

You know this tool could be made simpler with a bit less machining and a smaller lump to start with. Having used it it doesn't need to be as big as this.

If only I could draw :doh:

Darren:
Like this .... cut off everything above the red line. Would save a whole load of machining as the cutter does not need any re-enforcement when it's lifted up as any (small) load is the other way. Not that it climbs hardly any height anyway.

You just don't need the top bit :thumbup:

Stilldrillin:
VERY well done, & shown Darren! :clap:

Thank you...... :thumbup:

You've made a real good job of that Darren :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Your mill and lathe will really start to pay you off now.

Have fun
