Heck, Man U do some exceptional work for an "amateur".
Do U have a drawing of Your beautiful Fly Cutter??
See Yours is mounted on some ISO 40/50 Type Arbour.
Have been mulling on this for quite some time now of all the various designs.
Want to mount ours on a spare R8-22 Shell Mill Arbour we have.
Do U think the R8-22 will be good (Plenty strong) enough ??? It takes a solitary 10mm SHCS and we don't know if that will be adequate enough to hold the complete Fly Cutter unit ???
Did U harden Your Insert Holder ??? We have K110 Tool Steel available. U Guys should be familiar with that Grade !!!
Would be nice to get some input from U Guys.
TIA

Hi and thanks ARM 

I made mine from 4140 as is , I reckon any quality tool steel will be fine ,made mine about two years back and its still doing fine . 

Mine is mounted on an old BT30 ,ISO30  so R8 may be OK , cant really say . 

I will see if I have the drawings I made knocking about ,,,,,here is a link to what I copied    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suburban-Fly-C...4ae4e7cc9b   


Cheers Rob


EDIT : They manufacture one for a R8 taper , so all good ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,check out video in link .

Rob, you sure do good work. Makes me realize that I need to pay more attention to the cosmetics of my work.

Hello there ROB
Yeah, yeah that is the original I have been eyeballing for some time. Yours is the best knockoff by far of any I have seen. We have some EN8 we want to use for the ball and some un-beknown tool steel for the Insert Holder. Yup, seen they also have an R8 Shell Mill Holder, and the easy method the Keyway is slotted makes it all now possible.
Much appreciate the timely response.
Take care.

Here is one that is so simple to make and gets used often.  In fact, I used it today, which made me remember mention it.  I did post it a few years back but thought it worth rehashing!

Simple bender - 6mm - 1/4" capacity
