Very well done Stefang! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: By the way, that cold blue you used, what sort of chemical is that and what is its original purpose? /Peter |
| NeoTech:
Cold blue is for blueing guns.. instead of heating and putting em into a oilbath you rub that chemical stuff on em. =) |
| PeterE:
Ahh, thanks Neo, now I know what to get hold of. /Peter |

I have a Tripan 111 tool post myself in need of extra tool holders. Downloaded their catalogue to see what they have. They are still in the market but a little expensive. One interesting feature of these tool posts is that, the bigger ones can accommodate the lower size tool holder. |

Thank you guys :beer: --- Quote ---nice to see the shaper being used. --- End quote --- I like to run the shaper, cheapest way to remove steel, and pretty precise --- Quote ---Just a quick question - you mention you used prehardened toolsteel to make the holders and it looked like it machined really well - did you use all carbide tooling? --- End quote --- Its a steel for plastic mold application, its hardened and tempered to a hardness of 33HRC, it can be machined with highspeed tooling, but for milling i prefer carbide tooling. Its also very short chipping, but on the shaper and for drilling/tapping I used cutting Oil. --- Quote --- How does the actuation get from the hexagonal spindle, past the large mounting hole, to the interchangeable tool-holder? --- End quote --- Its a cam action, and the cam has a slot the size of the mounting hole and enought length to clear it when moving. But i will take it apart and take pictures, as its a but stiff, i think the grease in it hardened a bit. --- Quote ---By the way, that cold blue you used, what sort of chemical is that and what is its original purpose? --- End quote --- As neotech said, its to blue/blacken steel :) I use that soup: http://www.ballistol-shop.de/product_info.php?language=en&products_id=311 But I think they all are the same, based on selenium. --- Quote ---They are still in the market but a little expensive. --- End quote --- Even more expensive than the multifix toolholders. But the tripan holders are pretty easy to make in a homeshop..other than the multifix ones :D Stefan |
