HOBBYMAT UPGRADE

(1/3) > >>

ALB:
Hi All,

decided to upgrade my hobbymat toolpost to a QCTP i bought
the probolem is i can only use 6mm cutting tools in it  due to the tool holders being so small
So i thought i would make a couple more :smart:

Sid_Vicious:
I am upgrading my lathes to qctp too, so it will be interesting to see how you are making the extra toolholders :thumbup:

ALB:
sorry i don't have many pictures
First started off with a block of aluminium in the mill

Roughed out the initial depth and width of slot 26mm wide 8mm deep ish then got my 60deg dovetail cutter(first time i have cut a dovetail) cut the first side using verry fine cuts until it looked right then cut the other side and used the tool post as a guide not verry technical i know but heyho it worked for me :dremel:
 

ALB:
i can't figure out how to get more than one picture on here :scratch:
anyway where was i?
oh yes after the cutting of the dovetail i then offered the holder to the tool post so i could get a line for my cutting tool

then milled out the slot cleaned up the ends and tapped some holes for the clamping bolts
 

jiihoo:

Just reduce the pictures in size before attaching them to your post. 800 * 600 is usually preferred, although on some occasions it may make sense to go a little larger. Here is the link to the photo resize instructions http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,4735.0.html.
