Making a Cutter Holding Block
bogstandard:
David,
Part of my last job was printing, and the annaline inks that we used to use were meths based, and was exactly the same make up as marking out blue. For many years I used a bottle green one, then red, now all I have left is the normal blue. I found the green one was the best, hence it got used up first.
I knew I should have had a gallon bottle of each while it was available.
I suppose I will have to buy some one day.
Bernd,
If possible, in your posts, try to make the tips and tricks stand out by emphasising them. People always understand them better in a real life situation, rather than a set up explanation. Like my little sine tip to get the correct angle, showing how it is put to work in a real machining job.
BTW, do you use 5c collets?
If you do, this is another way to achieve what you are doing

Hi Chaps
Bin hanging back on this one until I get back to work and check the facts out, we use galons of the stuff per week as a sealant make it up ourselves from Meths, Shellac and Caster oil with a die added for clour to diferentiate products, the colours we used was, blue, red, and green, but we've stopped using the red and green (I think but will check) as the die has been found canceragenic.

Good point. Have to rmember to do that next time.

You'd think with the size shop I have and the equipment that I have that I would own a set of collets. But I don't. :bugeye:
Why, becasue the Logan lathe uses those small 3C collets made by Hardage and the Bridgeport uses the Quick Change tooling. So I have no use for 5C YET.

Call me cheap John. I guess I would rather do something like what I'm writing up than buy ready made. Kind of like using C-o-C verses 3D CAD to draw steam engines. ::)

Bernd,
I wasn't getting on at you about the tool holder, just informing the population that if they did have 5c, there is another method of doing it.
Before I got all my collets, I have been thru the exact process you are doing, to achieve the same goal.

Scientist have disscovered that spit is caneragenic, but only if swallowed over a long period of time. ::)
