Re: Edelstaal cutoff or slotting tool and Komet toolholder
|
Here is a link to A. R. Warner Co. and their selection of grooving and cutoff tooling. These use HSS inserts and have sizes to fit the Unimats (1/4, 3/8 and 5/16 inch shanks). They also have larger shanks so you need to scan the page to find the size you need.
Hi Herman,
?
If I understand your question, the cut off tool can be mounted in the standard tool holder, and I also use my quick change tool holder.? I attached photos.

That is great, Scott! Just one question - how is the tool holder mounted on the cross slide? Is there any additional holder because the cutoff tool holder itself does not seem to have anything of the sort. Photo would be much appreciated.

I¡¯m not sure I¡¯m answering your question as I¡¯m not familiar with Komet.? However, I have 2 Edelstaal cutoff tools as illustrated in the catalog.?
The holder is 5/16¡± but the blade is positioned so that the tip is exactly at the center height of ?¡±.? Two photos of the tool in action are attached.

Does anyone have some input on the erstwhile Edelstaal "cutting tool/slotting tool"? I found it in the Campbell Tools Co catalog for March 1983, entitled "Lathe accessories & Attachments"
which is also in the files section (here), also see screen shot below.
I would think that I have something similar, not complete - just a number of cutoff "knives" and a tool holder, this one coming from
Komet.
The knives measure circa 108 x 9,5 x 2,7mm, with the profile not square but set at an 80 degrees angle along the long side.
The Komet tool holder has the same angle, so that the knife can be securely held in the toolholder.
But there is nothing to mount this tool holder on the cross slide. How was this done - knowing that the knife set in the tool holder is not at the same height as the center.
So I guess some additional mounting device would be needed.? Does anyone have experience with these tool holders?? ?
