Hi,
I just finisched some toolholders which I was making during a few days.
This one is a toolholder for my mill. The tool is from iseca with ceramique inserts. I will use it for roughing work.
The next one is for holding sawing mills and module mills I have.
The next one is for holding tread dyes on the lathe. It is not compleetly finisched. I need to make some more adapters so I will be able to mount some larger and smaller dyes.
The material I made this from is some old tread studs of M42 600mm long grade 10.9 ( containing some chrome for strenght).
Sawing these studs was not possible. I have a circular saw and the teeth are dull in a few minutes. I the used the large angle cutter to cut them.
Then I turned them on the lathe, that went actually pretty good. I use Mainly ceramique inserts.
Even drilling the necessary holes whet good using lot of cooling. Tapping was something else, I used Machine taps at first but they squeek to much after a few turns, I was affraid to break them and then backed of. Next I used some tap sets wiht 3 taps and they worked pretty good with lots of oil and regularly backing of.
On the mill I made the holes and keyways.
The holder for the roughing mill works like a sharme. Everything is right in center.
I'm very Happy.
