Michel, I am in the process of making step clamps and finally found your video, of course after the hard part (designing). I always find it fun to see the methods you develop to get the job done. And it made me laugh when you hit that burr. After doing that quite often, Ive become burr paranoid lol. I'll post my video on my channel if you want to check it. Gilles
@@Rustinox I'm just finishing the filming of the step clamps today. And as a bonus I have a video that I'm working on called "The Rustinox Maneuver". I think you'll like that one ;)
Hi Michel ☺ that was Top Banana, or is it Stop Banana,lol, seriously though those are nice little step blocks and should solve some holding problems, thanks for the video, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
How about a slot, the width of the bolt, cut into the stepped face from the bottom far enough that the top step can be used. Then you won't have to remake the hold down bars. Just a suggestion if your pyramid material is wide enough. Otherwise good work.
Nice one! Love to watch ur vids, learning something every time! Don’t know why I love it, think it’s just because of ur clean working style and accuracy. I’m dentist and hobby knivemaker, not even owning a shaper or something like that, but damm the more I look on ur vids the more I know I need such a thing!!! Greets from Austria!
Rustinox - can yo show us more detail on grinding the shaper cutting tools. I have an Atlas 7b and am always trying to get the tools right. Thanks - from Wyoming US
I already had several demands to make a video about this topic. I think it's a good idea. Stay tuned, one of these days i will post a tool grinding video.
Hi Rusty, I am impressed. This is one of the best small workshop channels. Your videos are somehow naturally interesting and there is always something to learn from you. By the way, don't give up on the shear tool yet. I can't see well, but definitely the chips were not the ones a shear tool produces. I think the angle of this shear bit is too much into the work, i.e. there is no shear action but rather a right angle cutting. I would try to increase the angle. I think the depth of cut was a bit too much too. Another think is the cutting speed. I think it should be much lower for a shear bit. Of course the material matters to the surface finish. I guess you used s235 steel. It's known for the "gummy" behavior. The best video visualizing what I'm talking about is there: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--CWGScRNXfw.html
Thanks for your comment Petar. The cheer tool did not make this curly chips because of the scale on the part. The depth of cut was 0,2 mm. But indeed the angle of the cutting tool is not correct. It should be 45° or even more. I will rectify it if i find the time somewhere in this life, or in the next...
@@Rustinox thanks, I'm studying and experimenting myself. Especially on the shear tool I reached to some interesting results both on the lathe and on the shaper. For example on the shaper a cut with the toolbit facing toward the feed direction produces worse finish compared to a toolbit backing off the feed direction (consider the stupid explanation). On the lathe I haven't seen anybody cutting a face with a shear tool, so I tried. And the result is the same as when cutting the dimeter. The only point is that one can't cut close to the center due to the toolbit is above the center. By the way 0,2mm is too much for the shear tool. On the lathe I cut maximum 0,05mm. On the shaper - 0,1mm. Feed is at minimum possible for the respective machine.
