Hah - I can envision standing in the wrong place and winding up coated in a fine spray of oil!

Yes i have an old jacket i use when i run the engine

This is the next step for me. I will try to make the keyways by myself and I hope that’s the right thing to do this.

Best of luck with that perhaps post a picture of the operation

 

[Rudirk]

Thank you, I hope it will do his job.

The drawings are perfect . You don’t need a glass for details. They are coloured. Very nice.
Delivering service is good.

 

[Rudirk]

Today I worked hard.

 

[Rudirk]

Tomorrow I must clean the maschines.

Looking good so far

Here are the next steps. Milling and drilling.

Next step ist drilling the wholes for the key way .

Today I finished some small parts and screws.

 

[Rudirk]

Why I need this part ? Is it for stabilisation ?

 

[Rudirk]

Hallo,
today I could make the first test. It works very good with aluminium .

This is my first tool, I have made for making a keyway. The HSS bar was inside the box in a little bag.
I hope it works on steel too.

Looks like a good result, advantage is of course you can grind old used/broken HSS cutters to the width you need.

[Rudirk]

That’s a good idea.

 

[Rudirk]

At the Gnome are a lot of key ways . I hope, I could manufacture them with this tool.

 

[Rudirk]

This is steel and it works very good.

 

[kitson]

A fine job you have made of that well done

 

[Rudirk]

Here is my new baby. Now I have to make a few tools for grinding something.
