It's a common theme. Tools to make tools to make tools  :lol:

For sure around here, Andrew!

With the blank cleaned up in the lathe, I bored it to fit the R8 shank. Unfortunately I found it was too thin (at 1") to fasten using the system on the older flycutter -- it needed a deep recess to countersink the head of the end fastener and there wouldn't be enough metal left so I went ahead and plug welded the R8 shank to the blank.

Then to make sure the flycutter was running true I mounted it in the mill, and mounted one of my lathe's quick change tool posts in my milling vise and trued the periphery, as if it were a lathe turned vertical.

Then I flipped the QCTP upright to face the fly cutter bottom surface:

Your having a nice time! Looking forward to the results!

And this is where I left it this evening, ready to cut the tool slots.
