Making Quick Change Tool Holders For The Lathe

G'day everyone,
In this video I will be showing you the process of making some quick change tool holders for the quick change tool post on the mini lathe. I made the quick change tool post on the mill last year, and at the same time I made 6 tool holders, which as it turns out, is not enough. Making these tool holders is a pretty straight forward process. I'll machine it from from 300 Grade mild steel. I'll make tool holders for regular lathe tools, and a tool holder for holding baring bars and parting tools. I filmed this back in late January, just after I got the flood coolant set up, so I was still learning the speeds and feeds for using coolant.

long live the hacksaw !!!

Excellent, if you ever did a Patreon or something I'd sign up so you could buy a band saw or something and give your forearms a break 😅

@boudewijnNL 2 года назад

I'll donate the wood cutting blade for it, because this hurts my eyes as a woodworker.

@akaHarvesteR 2 года назад

I tried hacksawing a 2" piece of round stock... Exactly once. Bought myself a porta band saw immediately afterwards. I honestly don't know how he manages. I think he mentioned in another video he enjoys the manual sawing

@rosschandler4794 2 года назад

One day it will probably zoom out and it will be one of those little retro power hacksaws that use a normal hacksaw frame.

@2kidsnosleep Год назад

No kidding. Hate hacksawing metal by hand; absolute torture

@jackdawg4579 2 года назад

Nice work. I've thought about making a mounting system for my tool holders, but honestly they sit flat in the draw of my tool cabinet under the lathe and it works for me, or at least so far it hasn't annoyed me enough to do somethign about it, maybe one rainy day....

@howder1951 2 года назад

Nice work, you can always use more tool holders. I used wood for the handy-rack as well, very nice touch. Enjoyed, cheers!

You should also use a spring washer between the knurled brass and nut but if it doesn't come loose it's probably not needed then.

Some oil on that saw would come a long way. Thanks for the informative video.

@billshiff2060 Год назад

I'd like to see you build a line scribing tool for laying out and never ever use a vernier caliper to scribe ever again. Yeah, we all do it but you can be one of the first who stops doing it and get a video out of it too.

@artisanmakes Год назад

Definitely something I'd like to do one day. Don't worry too much about the calliper, its a cheapo one that is only used for scribing. Cheers

@paultrimble9390 2 года назад

Yes sir

@markshort9098 11 месяцев назад

Like your idea of putting the tools on draw runners but it'd probably be a lot better without the bottom dovetail, the tools would just sit there under their own weight and it'd be a lot less fuss getting the tools in and out without it

@Quagmire0815 2 года назад

you need a Bandsaw !!!

@howder1951 2 года назад

Righto, and a band saw is a nice project for the home shop. Even one of the tables for mounting hand-held bandsaw makes a constantly used tool,

@Jason710. 2 года назад

could u make an automatic hacksaw for a project, maybe like the die filer but with a hacksaw blade obviously it would need some sort of c frame though to hold the blade, idk just an idea....

@McKildafor 2 года назад

That would be a great project. Though I don't mind the hack saw.

@davidrule1335 2 года назад

Can I suggest taking your mill and lathe and making a band saw. LOL Or try an Evolution carbide saw. For what your doing it will work just fine. Upgrade the vise so you can cut shorter stuff.

@CNC-Guru 2 года назад

I feel sorry for the vernier gauge as your using it as a scribe xD

@robertwalker7457 2 года назад

Mill looks nicely trammed. The fly cutter finish looks good. My commercial tool holder is A2Z brand which is aluminum and works well so your steel should be great. A2Z is out of business now.

@alancross1987 Год назад

Surely the best way to prepare your rough stock would be to machine the widest face first. Then place that face against the fixed jaw of your vice and machine one edge, so then you have a face and an edge perfectly square (at least as good as your vice jaw). Then flip the part, keeping the flat face against the fixed jaw, and machine the other edge to size. Finally with a face and two edges perfectly square you can finish the other face to size.

@artisanmakes Год назад

Normally I would but the side of the hot rolled was pretty bowed/squashed out. So I cleaned up the side just to get a better clamp on the face. Cheers

@williamsworkshopuk 2 года назад

Good to see the gentian violet getting another airing :) With such a wide diameter of fly cutter your tramming must be dead on, right?

@Itsdirtnaptime 2 года назад

The hacksaw thing is pretty good idea, but I will say that your tool holders should have about a 3/32" (or about a 2.4mm) chamfer on all corners. That way you won't have interference with the small radius at the bottom of the channel. And yes, using a dead sharp tool would cut a square corner. Just remember that no tool stays completely sharp. Even brand new. So a radius is inevitable. Edit: You say you heard people say to not knurl under power. I feel like that's pretty straight forward, but can you elaborate? If you are saying to not do that while the chuck is spinning, how else would you do it? That's the only way I know how.

@PvPbomber009 2 года назад

Awesome video as always! :) One question, any particular reason for so much stick out on the fly cutter tool bit?

@artisanmakes 2 года назад

More sickout means I can cover larger sections of stock in one pass. At most I'm only doing a 0.2mm DOC and the tool is plenty rigid to do that.

@wordwyrd 2 года назад

You might find mill work a bit easier to keep square with a small test indicator

Great work man ! I found for the min lathe they are cheaper to buy than make as metal stock has become so expensive . great project though !! ENJOYED..

@shawnmrfixitlee6478 2 года назад

@@artisanmakes Not in the U.S For good quality stock to make them in a set of 4 .. It cost me way more than a set of pre-made . Plus the hard ware has to be grade 8 . By the time I was done it cost me over 100 bucks .. But I enjoyed making them as did you .. And I enjoyed your vid ! Thanks..

@gyrogearloose1345 2 года назад

@@shawnmrfixitlee6478 He used everyday hot-rolled steel. It's gotta be cheap enough - depending where you go. As for grade 8 fasteners - really? What on earth are you turning in your lathe, titanium for aerospace? And how many hundreds of hours per month? We - home machinists - forget sometimes the demands of industrial production are MUCH higher than what we deal with . . .

Its not out of tram, there is just a bit if flex in the tool holder and it really shows up in the back pass. Cheers

@ 1:25, what the heck have you got there for a fly cutter? Is that a round carbide bit? Whatever it is, it looks like it works pretty good!

Yep, that's a round carbide insert like a RPMT or RCGT style.
