Shaper toolholders

[Sunset Machine]

And there it is - imagination. So far, I've spent about 4 hours making chips with it, mostly just watching things. I started with flats because once that is down pat, the rest is pretty much where to put the flat. Two-way feeds (rough&finish) because there's no quick change toolpost and swapping between the two tools would be a nuisance. I use the same technique with a surface grinder and it works well for me. I'll add that a square nosed tool with about a 30 degree side rake worked best for finishing on the planer. Nice curls, smooth finish. But the work is large, didn't seem to be unreasonable to use separate tooling and take the time.

Working in isolation on things I've never seen before. Bound to make assumptions and blunders... I'd better get some more toolbits and get things sorted out.

Lost out on the Ebay toolholder, shucks. Looks like I'll have to make one.
Drawings, pictures, advice.. You guys are great. Thanks.
