Making a Cutter Holding Block

<< < (8/8)

Bernd:
Thanks guys.

I can't take credit for this method of making a cutter. This method was written up by Frank McLean in the Wisdom of Frank McLean. It's in a series of books put out by Village Press. The same people that print Live Steam and the two US metal working magazines.

So the credit for the cutter goes to Frank. Unfortunatley he passed away many years ago. He was a shop teacher and upon his retirement he was supposed to write articles for The Home Shop Machinist.

There is also several pages devoted in Guy Lautard's Beside Reader on using a piece of hex stock to make a finger groove cutter. And using a piece of square stock and hex stock for simple indexing.

Much of what I present here has been done before. I just pass it on. Seems like people are more inclined to search the interweb than to sit and take the time to read a book on how to do things. Lets just say I like to pass info on from the written page to the elctronic page with a few pics to help out others.

Bernd
