I am working on a simplified version of the parting tool in
your recent video. I will post a picture of it when done.
Thanks Mike, the parting tool works very well. I've actually
made five designs variation over the years. I think I finally
perfected the design. As long as the feed rate is right (about
.001" to .002" per revolution) and you give the blade a constant
supply of oil it seems pretty much fool proof. Even the speed is
very forgiving, as long as the SFPM is correct or slightly
slower than spec for HSS. I just made 10 of them. I plan on
selling them complete with the AXA Holder, Blade and a Needle
Oiler. I sent one to Quinn Durkin (Blondiehacks) and she love
it. She said it has become her go to parting tool. Can't beat
that for a positive review. Not sure on a price yet. The AXA
tool holder and blade add up to $35+ and the steel and bolts all
add up quickly. It took me about 20 hours to make 10 although if
I make more I'm sure that can be reduced. I want to keep the
cost reasonable but also cover my time and expenses.
Mark,
Can this be resized to 0XA size?
Thanks for all you do and try to show us how to do for
ourselves..
