Poor Man's Keyway Slotter
Darren:
Oh dear Stew,
I have done it on a lathe slotting leaded brass, but I was not comfortable doing it as the strain was quite apparent.
It was also a slow process ...
I glad you manage to fix it Stew :thumbup:

Hi Darren
Here is the tool and tool holder i knocked up a good few years ago to use in my shaper , you may notice the cutter is back wards , this is correct way to slot with a shaper as you lock the clapper box so it dont move .
Hi fluxcored , you can make a slotter for the lathe , by using the compound slide on the lathe , you need to remove the feed screw unit, 2 screws normally , so the compound slide is fee to move , make up a leaver and bracket to fit to were the screw fitted , and fix an anchour piont to the cross slide , then you can just mount the tool in the tool holder .
cheers Rob
Darren:
Rob thank you for posting those pictures as I've just spent the last 1/2hr sorting stock to make a holder of a different design.
Having now seen yours I'll have to put all the bits back away :doh:
Ta mate, back off to the shed to see what I can find to copy those pics, looks great :clap:
Bernd:
Nice Rob. Makes me want a shaper. I'd love to get one of those bench top Atlas models.
If all else fails and nothing ever comes up anywere I think I might attempt to build the Dave Gingery shaper. I have the plans. I don't think I'd try to pour aluminum though like he did.
Here's a pic of it :
Darren:
Rob, your workshop always looks devoid of clutter :scratch:
Where are all the bits and bobs :coffee:
