Im going to need to cut some internal keyways so started making the tooling for the shaper.
Not sure what this is called, looks like a boring bar but the cutter gets pushed with the ram. Had a piece of inch dia mystery metal, maybe 4140 pre hardened. Rather than file out a 1/4 inch square hole for the cutter I somewhat copied the lantern tool holder on the shaper. Cut an elongated slot and used rings to cover the round ends.

Now to make a mount for the clapper box.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
