Eureka form relief tool

:thumbup: Very nicely done Phil
Using the CNC would have speeded the process up a fair bit :med:

Ahhhhh, I missed this Phil.
These look amazing Phil and you know that I'll be following closely. The CNC profile tool seems the way to go.
Also, I think based on your quality eureka tool for half the price I got mind for, I'm going to remake mine. I paid £50 and it looks like a dogs dinner and fit for the crap bin. It does a job but despite best efforts, it isn't turning true.
Ok, a clock to a least start but I'll be back t this thread.
Phil, please update us how it cuts.

Chris,
I managed an hour in the workshop today and tried a 12 tooth pinion. I did it on the Aciera with the dividing head as my CNC won't run at 60 rpm.
This is the result:
I'm pretty pleased with it - it looks better in real life than in the picture. (I took the picture with a USB microscope as my compact digital has died. It could be better focussed.)
It's 8.09mm OD and was cut in one pass with a 1.49mm depth of cut with plenty of cutting oil brushed on.
Phil.
Rob.Wilson:
I would be well pleased with that too Phil :thumbup:
Well done :clap: :clap:
Rob

Very impressive....
Do I understand that you were running the cutter at 60rpm? What feedrate did you use - if you can tell?
Regards,
Simon
