I can take some of those radius cutters off your hand lol. My auction that i won i had a couple of home made radius cutters from the previous owner. They look good. Some of them are made for lathes now but im thinking of seeing what the dimension is of the flat he made for the tool. Maybe i can use it in the mill still and just creep up on things since it would be a 1 flute cutter.

Funny thing is them radius cutters were on the long list to get eventually. I’ve used carbide router bits to get round overs but 1/4 shanks scare me. I have a thing for cutters of any style. I must have thousands of reamers,endmills,dovetails,slotters,ballnose, everything. I may have bought two of them new! I get shoeboxes of them for pennies on the dollar and their usually brand new or sharpened with coating still on. I recently acquired a tool and cutter grinder to learn the art of sharpening. Long road though
. But the tooling is what does the job so I my mind you can’t have enough. Just enough drawers to pile them in.I haven’t went through and checked the sizes but I think theirs some duplicates if so I’ll pm you. Looking for anything specific?

That funny bc the eBay lot i won was bc i needed the boring bars and the end mills. Sadly alot are really tiny ones like 3/16 and small with a few 5/16 and 1/2. I dont really have any need of sizes. Im more or less trying to just build up my stock of things to get started. I had a few cutters from a previous job and that was all i had to start out with.Funny thing is them radius cutters were on the long list to get eventually.

Those lufkin parallels came in today. Normal wear and tear i would say except the C parallels has some digs in it. Does anyone have any ideas on how i can recondition that one to be better? I dont have a surface grinder but i could use the one at work if i had to.

My new printer arrived yesterday.
I’m documenting the build in the 3D printer sub forum.

I would just stone them. They look to be in good shape just acouple scratches and such.
Whelp i found a nice deal on some 1.5" to .5" aluminum round stock on amazon and then also went to hobby metal kits and picked up some 12L round stock from 1" to 5/16", 2" cast iron round stock and 1"x1.5" 1018 steel plating. Unfortunately i still need to pick up some 2" round stock of steel and alot of 2"sq plate of 1018. And that is becoming expensive. Just as an example i need 80" of the 2" sq stock. The wife is not going to be happy.

Starrett No. 196
I've wanted one of these little gaffers for a long time. Finally one came up for a decent enough price and I got the jump on it. Supposed to be Used, but if it is I'd say very sparingly. Not even a scuff on the crystal.
I like Starrett products. I know they may not be the most highly regarded anymore, but there's something about them that just feels good to me.
Thanks for looking!
