Thank you for the tour of your property. So interesting to see. Excellent shaper tool grinding masterclass. 👌👏👏👍😀 The extended table on your grinder is an excellent idea. I must add one to my grinder. You have an excellent and enjoyable way of teaching.
That was one of the best explanations of cutter geometry I've seen. You're often hard on yourself for your English but you are very understandable. And using the old tap for a shear tool is genius - adjustable angles, I'm totally stealing that idea!
Congratulations Mr. Rustinox: Your wise advice is always welcome, and I really like the videos you post, especially those of the horizontal metal planer. Thank you very much, dear friend. I send a greeting from Guatemala City C.A. , country of the "Eternal Spring"
Just got a shaper.I keep checking up on it to see if it's really there.They are beautiful machines.Your really smart and seem to enjoy life.We learn until we die.Every day we live can be interesting.Thank's
You always make interesting videos out of nothing.... an old tap. It held the rubber bands perfectly on that pitch and it was perfect for cooling vents. 👏🏻👍
Now I only need a shaper to use the tools I learned to make today. Those goats have no table manners "wait" they have no table either. :-) Thanks for sharing Rusty. Stay safe stay well. Regards from the UK.
Nice finish with the modified tap sheer tool. I like the round shank idea to change the front face angle, saves a lot of grinding because you can tune it in to get the best finish on different metals. One of those is a priority on my to make list now lol. Cheers Tony
Thanks Rustinox Excellent production. Of all the videos on Shapers this is one of the best for understanding tool geometry. I have learned more from your simple approach and attention to detail than I have from any other You tube Shaper Creators. Thanks again. BTW i just assumed the animals were Bread Sharks.
Great video, I thoroughly enjoy your wit, and I am about as thrifty as you are to a certain degree. Very good explanation of the grinding angles and the demonstration of grinding the tap is inspirational. I do remember trying to grind a drill bit to work like an end mill, and surprise, it does work to a degree. Cheers and thanks!
Love your simple grinder tool post table. Great idea, I have been thinking of something quick n rasy to do as well..I think this is just the ticket..also love the tap/shear tool build
Gday Rustinox, very helpful tips and great advice, thank you for taking the time to explain the different tools, I got a lot from this video and very much appreciated, Cheers Matty
Hey Rusty - nice intro ;-) Also - you are an excellent teacher, and doing it all in your non-native language makes it all the more impressive. I would have loved to have found your channel while I was learning about sharpening. I don't have a shaper (yet!!) but it turns out shaper tools and lathe tools are very similar. Now - how do I mill air cooling fins into my lathe toolbits, without breaking my other bits? :-) PS: I think you need to make a very HEAVY clapper clamping bolt, then you can say goodbye to the elastic bands. The re-cycled tap was great - now is the ideal time to teach folks that they can make something useful out of something discarded. Awesome stuff. Cheers, Craig
Hi Craig. Thanks for your nice comment. For making coolfins, maybe with polystyrene :-) For the clapper, i was thinking of a system with a spring to push the tool down.
@@Rustinox Yes - the spring is a good idea. I will be interested to see what you come up with. It's not totally unlike the need to weigh down a horizontal bandsaw (or hacksaw). Sometimes when I have a very wide cut, with lots of teeth engaged, I will clamp a small disc of lead to the outboard end of my saw. This saves me having to lean on the saw! Also when the saw blade is blunt, I need to add more weight :-)
That is what is so nice about the shaper versus a Bridgeport. You dont need thousands of dollars of tooling with a shaper like you do with a vertical mill.
Hello Rusty! I am trying to grind on my shaper lathe some details on a soft tool steel (23 HRC) but it keeps ripping off (scrubbing) the metal. Any idea if it's the tool bit causing the problem, the cutting angles the tool bit has? Grinding wheel can not be used. Thanks for helping me out. Really appreciate it!
For very soft steel you can use more aggressive angles. A back rake and a side rake of 15°-20°. Keep the nose radius very small. It's maybe a good idea to color the cutting edges with a sharpie, take one cut and inspect the tool with a magnifying glass.
Michel, Bear here, just found and going tomorrow Nov 26 2021 a Kloppe 450mm . Any good? And yours is ?? Hope you can advice, Bears Rod Shop, new subscriber since toolfest2021 👍👍
This is no reflection on you as I,m starting to think I,m a bit thick. Why all the different angles especially when some never seem to contact the job? Regards Stuart Bell from UK
