Very sophisticated design and nice craftsmanship.
I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Is that a D1-6 spindle? Also, does the tool seat in the ID taper of your spindle or ???

Thank you for the kind words. It is D1-5 spindle and yes the tool seats into the lathes #5 morse spindle taper. Basically its a lot of tool to make small screws on...lol. I love to make all sorts of tooling apparatuses and machines for both my gunsmithing and knife making hobbies. Seems like more time is dedicated to the former than the latter 2....lmao

I patterned this tool off of a design I saw on Homemadetools.net so I cannot take credit in anyway for the design other than my adaptation to a modular design. There are a few other designs on there also Thehomeengineer also has a short video showing him making some rivets on his article.

Dovetail cutter I don't think I've posted here. Had to offset cutting edge from center to obtain clearance because of the insert I used but I have a ton of them so wanted more tooling for them and cutter still works very well.

Thanks

This was given to Me, I did not make it. The point is from the days of used dental drills. Check out the date. Still used occasionally.

I like to find things like that, and have picked up several at yard sales, just because of someone putting their name on like that. Yet, I have an engraver, and do not personalize things I make. Guess I am two faced.

Using Rudy Kouhoupt's plans, this is the adjustable angle plate I built for use on my mini-mill...

This is a spindle mounted indicator holder designed by Stefan Gotteswinter I made monday.
He is a very talented machinist in Germany with a Youtube channel.

The plans are free, he just asks for recognition if you post them.
I also tries my hand at black oxide I found on Ebay cheap that seem to be easy to use and effective.

I ground the dovetail cutter on my d-bit grinder, and it worked perfect.

Thank you for viewing
