Cheers Lads :thumbup: Gerhard and Jason ,,,,, The swan neck (some bird anyway ) tool is a very old idea ,, i first laid eyes on one in an old tool catalogue , along with a few other lathe tool ideas that have been long forgotten ,some i will have to try out , :D, What it dose is eliminate tool chatter , as you can see in the photos ,, thats 1/8 deep in stainless and just the ruffing cut . no sign of any chatter :dremel: ,, the tool dose this by raising the centre of the bend radius , so when its under load the tool is deflected away from the work and not into the work as with a normal tool ,, with a normal tool under cutting load it will be deflected into the work , taking more off the work and setting up vibration ,, CHATTER :med: ,, The tool holder needs to be made from a tool steel , mild steel will not do as it will have no spring to it . Another good thing it the tool uses old worn out milling cutters as the cutter bit :med: ,, well worth an hour or so to make one . Also a good tool for the shaper . as John (i hate shapers) has just said :thumbup: :lol: :lol: A few ideas :D ,, old catalogue dose not scan to well :doh: Rob Edit .. ye oldie original tool ,, were a forging , not cut from solid as i have done ,,, a forged tool were the grain of the steel follows the bend would be a better job . |
