I realize we haven't successfully got 1 set project done yet, but I've been hooked on this guy's youtube channel lately:
He has 3 sets of plans on his website for some REALLY interesting tools (plus videos of him making them!).
First, an auto-retracting thread-cutter: https://8740b3c6-e01e-442a-9e63-169...d/6e39fc_f8d3a1337a564ce49b1c55c1fedd6175.pdf
Similar to the cam based one we were looking at, this is a tool holder for threading, but has a re-settable mechanism. HOWEVER, it does the retraction automatically!
Second, is a Shaper-mount involute gear cutter: https://8740b3c6-e01e-442a-9e63-169...d/6e39fc_9a7e572f191c4a20b222013473478001.pdf
Less useful to many of you, but I've wanted to make a gear-cutting jig for my shaper for a while! This version is actually really well thought through:
FINALLY, and most interesting to me lately, a tool to make a surface grinder into a cylindrical grinder: https://8740b3c6-e01e-442a-9e63-169...d/6e39fc_0bc2c9f7ed1b4215a0fa63693cb22a49.pdf
Lots of dovetail cutting and some interesting design, but it looks like a really cool tool for grinding cylinders on the surface grinder. First video here:
So... this summer if we run out of plans, I'd love to do one of those with some of you!
