So, here is a pic of some of my tooling I made. I know I already posted about the vise, but here it is again holding a block that will soon be a quick change tool holder for the tool post I'm going to make. The dovetail was cut using the indexable dovetail cutter shown that I also made. It works good for facing too I think (faces beside the dovetail). And it's held in the spindle with the R8 tool holder I made.
I love making tools and using them to make tools (and other cool stuff, of course).
**Edit**
One dovetail joint complete. Need to do the one on the adjacent side and the tool post dovetails will be done. Then of course there's a lot of other machining to do. But I have successfully cut my first pair of mating dovetails.
