I just did a quick job for a fellow and I thought I would share it here. It was a wheel for a belt grinder. The wheel had a 4" OD with a 2 Deg. crown and a 2.25" width. It also needed a bore of .001 over 5/8. The wheel body is aluminum and I sleeved the bore (steel). I had to put a sleeve...

Well I have been at it again with the dovetail cutter!! I wasn't overly happy with the performance and how hard the cutters were hitting so I got some TPGB 321 Inserts and turned out yet another cutter. I had to make another one because the through hole in the TPGB Insert is smaller than the...

Hi guys, thx for the comments. After giving this one a rip, it's pretty clear that I'm going to need inserts with 11 Deg relief. This new one is performing very similar to the first and I think the biggest issue is that as the insert travels through the radius of the cutter, the back of the...

Finished the new dovetail cutter tonight. As mentioned, it is made from 4140 alloy. I took a bunch of pics, although I forgot to take photos of the turning and setup to turn the 60 Deg. taper. I did have one hairy moment while drilling the hole which secures the insert... The drill broke on...

Hi, thanks for speaking up. Please keep this in mind as I would like to try the TPG(x) style inserts on the dovetail cutter. I should be able swap the inserts as I believe they have the same core dimensions. Let me know when you are back. Cheers!

I have been working on the second Dovetail cutter! I'm using 4140 this time around in hopes for a more rigid cutter. I also have some new (quality) TCMT 321 inserts which Matt kindly hooked me up with! I should be done tonight and will post the results. I few things I'm doing different this...

I will share some details in the projects area. I should be done with the build this evening and then to test it to see if I get a better cut with the 4140 tool along with the quality TCMT inserts.

Thanks to Matt for helping out with some inserts! Matt hooked me up with some TCMT 321 inserts. I would still like to try some TPGB or other TPG(x) inserts as long as they have a hole for screw mount. If anyone on the forum has any and would be willing to part with a few, I would gladly buy...

Hey Matt, just had a look. Nice Kijiji haul! Looking at those pictures, it looks like there may be a few if the inserts that I need! Can we meet up so I can have a look? Let me know what is convenient for you and I'll swing by. Again thanks for reaching out. Maybe we can make a trade if...

Oops! I misunderstood your post. I had a look on Kijiji.... Not in the Kijiji hauls section if this forum!! Lol... I'll have a look right now.
