Bernd, thank you. Dean, nothing much to take pic for the reduced shank. I'll take my process of making the holder. Haven't started but thinking about the brass nut to hold the holder in position on the QCTP. Maybe I should start work and worry about that later. Regards, Wong |
| Dean W:
I meant, show us what you make with the dovetail cutter. |
| Bernd:
Hey Wongster, here's the pics. This how I would do it. The pics will give you a general idea of what I was talking about. Hope this gives you some ideas. Bernd |

I've 3 pieces of aluminum block of 3/4" thick. The height of the tool holder is given in the drawing as 1" x 2" x 3/4". I can use the 3/4" thickness of the stock for the height of the holder to save on extra work of having to mill it down if I lay it out on the stock the other way round. Some skim cut is needed to clean up the rough surface. But I would only be able to work on one piece at a time this way. How would you approach this from a big piece of raw stock? Regards, Wong |
| wongster:
Bernd, Thanks! One question though; how do you ensure that the tool doesn't move side way while cutting? Regards, Wong |
