10mm cutting tool

[Dalecamino]

Had this idea at our local chapter meeting a month ago. Since Mike Roux has this awesome mill, and lathe and all kinds of tooling, we should try to make one of these tools, just to say we can. As I say "we", I like to include myself, because I watched :biggrin: Mike Redburn got us some stainless steel stock, turned a 1" tongue on them, and helped Mike Roux with the planning and figuring. We spent the day working on these (4) I really like the way this tool cuts. Need some practice to get used to it, like anything else.

I won't even consider calling it that.:wink:

I hope you like it. I'll take the blame for it.

Prediction. Chuck will soon own a mill.

Nice inserts, look almost like hunters, I like a round insert, but they are tricky to learn, they want to leave ripples on the wood, even the big 18mm inserts like in the Rotundo or the Unitool , but man are they ever nice for inside bowl work. They just take a real steady hand and a slow travel down the blank.
By the way that is a nice looking tool!!!

Why would he do that when Mike Roux has one and Chuck only has to watch and offer advice. :biggrin: If he bought one he would actually have to do the work.

Thanks for the tips Ken. Mainly wanted it for shaping sections. It was modeled from the Woodchuck Pen Pro I got from you.

I'm safe as long as I have no money:biggrin:

that looks similar to what Easy Wood Tools is makin'. Am i wrong?

Easy Wood Finisher

 

[Dalecamino]

I think they're all going to look similar. There's just not too many ways to design these tools, that I can think of. They are pretty basic.

You been looking at mills yet? I reckon you're getting close:tongue:

Nice work on the tool.

Chuck is welcome to use my mill anytime he wants, he knows that. He's used it before. It's just a bit of drive for him. The time I took this picture Mike Redburn and I were standing around doing nothing while Marshall and Chuck were hard at it:biggrin:

Mike

Nice work Fellas.

What kind of insert is it?

Thanks Lupe. It is a 10mm cupped carbide insert from Carbide Depot.

Chuck,
Great looking cutter. I got an older round carbide version, but am looking at making a square one soon. I knew I missed out on a good time.

I have made 3 different types of square tools, using the 3 inserts from this guy
