Thank you, what a terrific teaching video. I’m a 58yo beginner after many years working with timber and I’ve just bought my first mini lathe so this is really helpful for me, thank you
I've been saving all of my carbide end mills from my CNC router and never knew why, just didn't want to throw them out. This is PERFECT! Thank you for posting this.
Nice! I thought you'd just grind them on a bench grinder, but I didn't expect that you'd grind the tools on the lathe. I think I'll try to make threadmills and custom endmills that way. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful project and tools made... Very creative. I may use that... A life saving tip: cobalt drill bits and carbides are dangerous - use a respirator if you gring these.
@@niklar55 It's also good because then you don't have to keep buying chinese stuff that fails. You can buy the good stuff because you can extend the life beyond the intended use.
broken carbide endmills are good for this sort of cutter too, they are the same material throughout, unlike some hss drills and some cheaper hss+cobalt bits. anyway its easy enough to check hardness and you'll find out pretty fast if it isn't.
Nice work. A man after my own heart , waste nothing. If you have a small lathe grinding your own HSS tools is a must. If your having finish or chip controll problems with insert tools try HSS.
Wow nice thats great i have expirence this tool bit i'm onbord on the ship before but now i'm here vecation 9moths.. Good job..i watching video..from cebu in the philippines.
Very very good. So far I have used 6 or 4mm silver steel for small tool bit, hand filed. But it needs to be hardened and tempered. Your approach seems much better. Besides, using the lathe, one can set the angles precisely like you showed. Thank you very much!
Brilliant idea! Got to love a guy who doesn't waste any good tool steel! this idea is a keeper! For all those who don't like the music I got to ask........Is that all you take from this posting, did you even appreciate what TinC33 did?
Now I'm glad I kept that big plastic drawer of "dull or broken" bits...I kinda figured a use for that super good steel would turn up. Milling bits too..
Good, just be sure to use hardened part, i forgot to tell bere that i use hsco drills wich is entire hardened also shaft. Mill bits will be right stuff.
Cool video. I would suggest offsetting your tool holder center hole so you can get more strength(more threads) out of the set screws. Also, it would be helpful for heavier turning to grind a flat spot on your tools for the set screws to sit against so they don’t rotate. Awesome work
I think to make flat surface for screw, but i see that it's unnecessary for so small insert, one screw hold it ok, but i got thread through the hole so i can fix it with two screw. Biggest pros of flat surface is that alway hold on same angle position, because it set angle itself to a flat surface when tighten the screw.
New to your channel from another of your viewers we like your channel because your work is small metric and that is what we do in America, great use of the Proxxon The seed oil type I did not make out it does a great job today I use cold bluing for my surfaces. Nice video teaching and thank you for making them.
I do the same, except instead of HSS i use Broken or Dull Solid Carbide bits.. Similar tools can be bought, but they're more expensive, and you miss the joy of making them yourself, and saving some money.. :)
Really enjoyed your video on making small HSS tool bits. Easy to find Caribe small lathe tooling from Thin-Bit, but not so many HSS tool offerings. Find I would like to make some T15 HSS tooling. Thanks for the great ideas. BB
Sorry for my language... (from Hungary) ez nagyon jó, csak így tovább! Te értesz a szakmához! Végre valaki a youtubeon aki jól használja a kisesztergáját! 😀😀
Thank you neighbour (i'm from Slovenia) thanks to google translate, anyway i'm not in this profession, i'm an electronic in fabric, that's just one of my hobby beside farming, RC modelling, filming, motocrossing...
Serious man you are the best and you know why: you did not invent this thing but you gave it to other people through the video you made. That's why you are the best.
