Good to see your up and around young man ;D

Take care, you have a mansion to finish, among other things ::)

You just behave yourself there Bob.
A few days of scheduled maintenance can save
months of down time. ;)

Rick
 
Bob, Paolo, CC...very glad everyone seems to be doing well.
Take care of yourselves.
 
Get well soon. I started a new job and haven't been on the net much. Sorry to have found out so late.

Thanks Rick, CC, Zee and Bob.

I always behave myself but occasionally, my behaviour leaves a little to be desired, just ask SWMBO. ::)

Best Regards
Bob

Hi Guys,

1st day back in the shop after a 2 week break. :eek:

I have been promising myself to make one of these for a while and the flywheel's were the perfect excuse.

OK its a tool holder with a round bit. ::) The idea is that the bit can be rotated so for square and acme threads with a large helix angle. the tool can still have a substantial body and be rotated to match the helix angle, maintaining the strength of the bit.

In this case it is rotated so that the OD of the recess can be cut without the bottom of the tool binding on the arc.

The completed recess.

At this point my mobile v SWMBO advised me to stop as I had been on my feet for a whole 2 hours. Nuff said. ::) ::)

Best Regards
Bob
 
Bob,

Good to see you back on your feet after your extended period in dry dock. I empathise with your position after having just returned to the workshop after a couple of weeks off with the dreaded swine-flu. - Take it easy.

When you are back in the shop could we have a close up photo of the business end of that tool please.

Sorry to hear about the op, and glad to hear that you have recovered and are back in your workshop,
also hope you never have to go through that again.. ever, i think i read you have had 6 of these removed.

Wishing you the best of health now and future more

regards
Andy
 
Gavin and Andy,

Thanks for the kind wishes. :bow: :bow:

Gavin,

I'm happy you are over the swine flu, nasty bug that one. I will take a photo tomorrow of the bit.

Best regards
Bob
 
Welcome Back Bob!

Glad things are progressing on all fronts!......will be sure to check out the mansion thread soon!
Dave
 
good to see your back in the shop doing what you enjoy. nice work so far
 
Bob, welcome back to some machining :)
And as to that tool holder: I have a similar one - made from the body of a broken tungsten tipped tool, except mine has 2 grub screws to hold in the bits - I found that only one screw is sometimes too little to hold the bits securely. I leave it in one of my QCTP holders - making that holder on its own a "semi-quick-change" holder. When I grind bits for it, I just try and make the tips on-center; makes life easy ;)

Regards, Arnold
 
Dave, hedgehog and Arnold.

Thanks for your support. :bow: :bow: :bow:

Best Regards
Bob
 
Bob,

That's a good idea. Good to see you back.

Nick
 
Welcome back Bob.
I look forward to seeing more of your project.
Take it slow and listen to when the body says..."hey! take it easy"
