What is that assembly Ed? Looks good, I just can't figure out what it is.

Thanks Ken.

It's these: http://www.metalworkingfun.com/showthread.php?tid=846

I dislike needing a tool to use a tool so I replaced the SHCS with a custom thumb screw.

If we could only harness the heat we generate cutting and handling firewood we'd heat for half the season.

Looks good Ed, but WAY to shiny. They get the crap beat out of them on the mill. BTW, that cap screw is staked in position. No tools required.

Not exactly today but recently with Charlie's aid I converted a bunch of my uncles old 8mm movies to digital. Preserved some history and a lot of memories. Captured the projected image with his Canon 5D mark II
Here is a short clip of the last steam train through Calabogie. Scary part is I remember as a kid going down to see it go past every day.

Any chance of a full thread on this project Dave? I would like to make some for my lathe.

Tom,

I do use them quite a bit. I just try to keep them clean. I like to tighten the screw up so the unused leafs don't flop around during use and also for storage.

Great old video Greg, looks like it was spring run-off time.

Needed to true up a 4 foot chunk of 2 inch sched 40 black pipe. Horible stuff to get a finish on and not deflect in the middle, I hate follow rests.
Someone showed a shear tool on one of the other forums, never heard of one before.
Ground one up from 5/8 HSS and gave it a shot.
Roughed the pipe round at 5 or so thou DOC and .0175 in/rev feed at 200rpm. Unbelievable finish with little to no chatter.
Made a vanity pass at 2 or so DOC and .008 in/rev and 200 rpm.
No taper overall, about 1/2 thou over in the middle.
Im sold on this cutter, guess you can't hog metal with it but you can't hog on black pipe anyway.

Held in the three jaw and three jaw tailstock chuck.
