The Artful Bodger tries to make something!

<< < (3/10) > >>

Darren:
I'm not sure I like the look of this, that's going to be some pressure on the chuck jaws as well as whacking the heck out of the cutter.

If you were in the UK/US I'm sure an offer of help would come about....is there no-one in NZ you can turn to?

Just go very gently and slowly, though the lathe will need enough speed to actually make the cut.  :wave:

kellswaterri:
Hi John, have you thought of this set up...removing the tool post ...clamping the job to the top slide and using a milling slot cutter in the chuck to mill out the slot...much safer than trying to turn it out  :bugeye:...Just a thought,
All the best for now,
                           John

sbwhart:


John the other John just about beat me too it. above is a Crap O cad of another way you could do it in the lathe as John just suggested.

Cheers

Stew

John Hill:
I wasnt really scared but now I am terrified! :bugeye:  There is all today to think about this as garage playtime is in the evening.  Thanks for the comments.

I suppose I could buy a mill cutter and lash up something to do it, I suppose I could drill 60% of the material out in advance. :scratch:

Of course I could ask Sally Shaper to do this job but it looks a tall order for such a small machine and I am yet to master  slot cutting with her.

However there is a certain advantage of the turning method if I can do it and that is the radius of the cut will match the piece that these slotted bits have to mate with.

John, I am some what confused,easily done these days ::) but how would that work?
All the best for now,
