Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I'm glad that I could contribute some thing to the form after watching all the wonderful builds that have been presented here. Anzaniste: Yes the fly cutter was made from the plan in Harvey's book. One the first tools I made. I use it every once in a while when I need a wide cut. I need to make a counter weight for when the arm is extended out too far. Also, I haven't found the perfect grind on the tool bit yet. As to the speed at which the project progressed, you need to figure in the week and a half of building the pattern that I didn't show this was by far the most time consuming part. Bernd: I mounted it on my grinder stand to share the work light and to save space. It vibrates a little, but it is not the bad for how much it will be used. I will experiment with the variable pulley to find a speed that lessens the vibration but works fast enough to actually get some metal removal. |
