If anyone is interested here's the post from some time ago about making the post for the QCTP ... http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=908.0 |

--- Quote from: Darren on April 12, 2010, 05:00:42 AM ---Thanks Guys, I think that'll fill my needs for that smaller QCTP which I'll probably reserve for the smaller HSS toolsbits. I'd like to have a go at making holders for my other larger QCTP but that is a much more complicated affair. I'll need jigs and the dividing head mounted on the shaper. It might be more than I can chew just yet so we'll have to wait and see. One thing for sure is that only the shaper could make these, the mill would be a "dead duck" as they say :) --- Quote from: AdeV on April 10, 2010, 08:07:35 PM ---I think I know what machine I'm buying next :thumbup: Thanks for sharing, that's some journey for that poor piece of steel... with my workshop being right next door to a welding firm, there's lots of flame-cut and plasma-cut steel scraps about the place; I did try milling some plasma-cut metal once, but it just clonked about in the vice & broke a cutter... --- End quote --- I tried that once too ... that's why I wasn't going to have another go on the miller :lol: You can be rest assured that no delicate (expensive) milling cutters were harmed during this production and the wild population count has been unaffected :lol: Some time ago I priced up a dovetail cutter for the mill and seeing how easily they are ruined I have to say I sharn't be going there. Not for steel anyways. --- End quote --- You mean you haven't made a dovetail cutter that takes carbide inserts yet? :doh: |

Lovely piece of work Darren, I am very envious! ATB Kevin |

Thanks Kevin, it's a pleasure to show the old girls tricks. Hopefully I'll be putting together a post machining something complicated on the shaper that I'd love to see someone try on a mill. If it pulls off the shaper will have paid for itself several times over by the time the jobs done :D Later :thumbup: |
