Tool I also finished 10 pieces of lathe tool holder

[a smile]

In addition, 10 quick-change tool holders were made.


All through profiles are machined using EDM lines


What it looks like after cleaning



This is my favorite color.

The grinding machine is used to process six faces and, most importantly, V-slots.

Those are beautiful! Could you make money selling them?

A question - there seems to be a lot more to this height adjustment than is obvious. What are the details?

This is the original design, I have changed some sizes according to my own aesthetic direction, but my knurled is not clear enough. The structure is very simple, the internal is M16*2 metric thread.

The iron red one is one of the 100 customized ones I found in the factory, and the thread is very poor, and the concentricity is also very poor, which makes me lose confidence. So I had to make my own screws and nuts. Then use standard mechanical screws to lock.
My principle is that as long as the standard parts can be bought, I will never make them.

Very nice! Can you describe the process a bit? It looks like maybe the profile is wired EDM? Are they hardened or ground after that?

Your photo explains what I couldn't see. Very nice. Thank you!

FYI

This is TOTALLY fascinating! I never would have known all that complexity was all in there. Even @a smile 's photos didn't show that.

Thanks for guessing that I really didn't know despite thinking I did John!

Now I finally understand why @thestelster went broke buying a set.

I'm still not buying them......

I'll never go to the trouble of making cams like that, but I might play with making some improved adjustment nuts.
