Milton,

It is appreciated when people give feedback, especially when you have success with what I have shown.

It's also very nice to know that people save or go thru all the old posts, not just mine, but everyones. There is such a lot of information just waiting to be rediscovered.

This is a very interesting tool shape,John.I have always used a right handed turning tool shape.
I'll definitely have to give this a try.Can I assume it will work on cast iron as well?
Thank you for the lesson,kind sir.
Btw.,you should teach bandit to operate the camera,then you can use both hands to do the grinding :)
Regards.Hans.

Nice to have the feedback guys  :thumbup: ........ I'm sure John appreciates, and it is well deserved  :dremel: but to be fair we like it, so thanks  :beer:

Hans,

I wouldn't use it to remove the tough outer skin, that is a job for a normal cutter, but yes, it works just fine on cast iron.

Hi John,

Sorry to bring out an old thread.  I was doing some flycutting on my Sherline mill and I get quite a bit of scratches using the Sherline Inserted Carbide Tip Flycutter.  Changed back to the one that holds a left hand tool and the finishes seems better.





I would like to try out the shape you shown here.  Will this work on a small mill like what I have?  How do you grind the radius?  Looks so smooth and rounded.

Regards,
Wong
