Awesome tool holder Everett!. May be back in shop in a week or so still weak but feeling much better . Had some news from doctor . Will be doing a update some time this next week. I am probably going to have surgery had 2 xray done one on foot and other on shoulder. Doctor did not like what he seen I told him I dont like the pain either .. most likely bone spurs in heel and a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder. So more appointments next week with orthopedics . . So more down time looks like for me . But been dealing with the shoulder for several years. Foot just start hurting in December. But good news on the respiratory system it is cleared up no more infection. And oxygen level back to normal.
Another great machining video Everett. I like your V block you used when boring on the mill. Interesting set up doing the flats. Finished job looks superb really professional, enjoyed the content. Tony
Thanks for letting me hang out in the shop with you ( even though I laughed when you said you turd when the part slipped in the vise sorry bout that ) hope I didn`t get in the way too much
Hey, thanks for wanting to come hang out, even if it is in the virtual sense. You're never in the way, and by all means have a laugh if the screw-up or klutz moment merits it, lol!
Just like me in the mirror; the further back you stand the better it looks! Just kidding Everett; another fine job in the shop. Looking forward to the key way finish and any other jobs you may perform. Greg
Thanks Max! Yeah, they are quite spendy for a hobby budget. I'm now thinking about how one could make a similar holder but this time to hold a smaller square tool facing forward to shape out corners on a drilled hole. Would take a while but should be more accurate than filing.
@@EverettsWorkshop I just use a round bit of HSS , grind a cutting edge on one face & clearance on the others then slot the hole by hand in the mill . It's a pain to index , but it's close enough for a tool holder .
Thanks! Just popped over to your channel and spent a couple minutes there, looks like we get up to similar shenanigans, for sure. Hopped on board and will look through your back catalog of stuff, from the thumbnails looks cool!
Thanks Everett. I need to build one of those for my little Southbend 7" Shaper. I like the idea of Rustinox using a broken drill or tap for the tool bit . I save most of my pieces for just this. Although I am trying to wrap my head around how you would square the bit with the work. Such as cutting gears. I also love the idea of using the Truck brake rod for the material. My mind has become adjusted to when I see something it thinks of how I could re-purpose it. I love the idea of repurposing , I guess that comes from my days of being a kid on the farm and not having any money. Thanks again.
Thanks Terry, using a round tool bit would make mounting easier but I wanted to use square HSS bits for reasons of making more accurate cutting geometries on the cutting edges. Got some crazy ideas, we'll have to see if I can get the time to try them.
Hi Everett stumbled across your channel watching machining videos. I come from the same background as you a mechanic and also have a hobby lathe that I spend all my free time on. I like what I see in your videos you have a new subscriber.
Thanks Anthony, glad you like what I get up to. All of us as hobbyists have some similar needs and challenges, but as we all have different experience and available equipment & materials it is cool to see how others approach problems that we face as well. Hopefully I don't share too many of my bad habits, lol!
Hi Everett, Thanks for the shoutout. I've received your stickers and will give you a shoutout in one of my upcoming videos. By the way great work on the shaper tool. Regards Kevin
Thanks Kevin! And thanks again for the stickers! The tool does work, I've made one keyway with it so far. The video of that will get posted once it is edited completely.
Thanks John, I took cues from the picture that Bart Harkema (Bart's Metal Works) showed when he made his version. He apparently has a shaper accessory catalog from way back when.
OK I have watched the whole vid now and it went rather well. I guess you can have the last laugh if I now make a cock up of my effort to make a key cutting bar. Stefan Gotiswinter and shaper Andi are masters in this area of shaper work. We are very lucky to be able to access that kind of experience and expertise. ☺ Happy New Year to you.
Hey, I would not at all be laughing at you as you make a bar for your machine, as I have no room to mock. And I agree, I appreciate a number of the people on TH-cam here as I have learned so much from them - Stefan, Adam, Steve, Rustinox all come to mind.
I really enjoy your videos. I feel like I learn something during each one. Plus you are fun to watch. Since your last post I finally bought my first lathe. A small lathe. If I like working with metal as much as I do woodworking I plan to upgrade to a larger one. And other metal tools.. I have a good size woodworking shop with room to add a metal shop. So why not. You have been an inspiration to me to do metal work. So I will be here waiting for more tips and tricks. Thanks my friend for sharing your talents and experience.
Thanks for the kind words, as a hobbyist I do appreciate them. A number of things I do I are learning experiences for me, so hopefully I don't pass on too many bad habits . . . That's awesome though that you picked up a metal lathe! Be careful though, metal cutting is addictive and habit-forming, and you'll find yourself picking up "just one more tool for the shop" from now on, lol!
hello everett very nice end result on the shapper keyway tool holder. glad to see your great channel is growing you deserve it. keep up the good work. cant wait to see how the tool holder performs.
Thanks Jamie, I really do appreciate all the support you've given me and my little shop here. I can promise you a video fairly soon on using this tool as I had to shape a metric keyway in a hub for a buddy. Don't have any metric broaches so this was my option. Once the editing is done on it, the video will go up.
Gday Everrett, very nice result mate, I really have to make one again, the first one I made mounts in the lantern and I don’t like it, can you lock your clapper box in your machine? Looking forward to seeing the shaper in action again, awesome video mate thank you, Matty
Thanks Matty, yes my machine has a bolt from the side to lock the clapper, otherwise I would have gone more toward how Stefan Gotteswinter did his keyway cutter. Doing it this way seemed the easiest for me in this situation.
Thanks Peter, I'm thankful for it. Used it once already, the video's being edited. BTW, still making my way through your dividing head videos, looks very cool!
You know, that would have been far simpler, and I also discovered that a 1/4" hole will almost circumscribe a 3/16" HSS tool blank so I might shorten the failed one and fit a 3/16" tool to it. But yes, using a round tool bit would have made it easier to build, for sure.
WTG Everett reminds me of my first boring bars I made when got my lathe 35 years ago. Thanks for the leads, I usually check them out. Did you see the tip somewhere, tells us to hang onto those circles of all sizes and use them in those notches in the chuck teeth as backups for thin washer turning and such as they compress while you clamp down on the work. cheers!
Thanks Howie, as for the washer trick it sounds familiar but can't remember where I saw it. I just didn't want the video dragging on too long, which is why the nut and washer parts were "abbreviated," lol!
This makes you a fully usable bit holder, wish I had room even for a small shaper, it would be a great add-on for some special apps....... It's easier to make square holes with a triangular file than a square one, cause it's almost impossible to hold the square file at 90 deg, all the time, as for the triangular one you can do constant corrections without affecting the side you're not actually filing... If you get what i'm trying to say.... 😎🙂👍 Nice Chamfer...... 🤗🤗🤗
I actually switched back and forth between the square and tri-square files as the hole was filed. It wasn't perfect but the tool bit sits flat in the bottom of the hole as the set screw is tightened so it will work for my purposes. As for if you or Phil ever need shaper work done, if you can wait for the cargo snails at Canada Post to run freight to and fro then by all means send your parts over! And I knew that chamfer would make you happy, lol :)
@@EverettsWorkshop As for Snail mail Canada, they introduced some fixed priced packages, it's up to 5 kg, there are 3 different sizes, I think that prices are from about $17 to $27 CDN, could be practical, we're far from the 70 pounds from the US Snail service...Yap...! the chamfer lesson really sinked in...... 😁
I made one quite similar yours. Used it 3 times. I agree with your thoughts on re-purposing the first attempt into a shorter version, as I have found that I had to re-position (and re-tram) my vise to do even the smallest jobs ... a short bar for short stroke work may negate the need to move the vise out of it's 'prime position' for regular operations.
I saved up your videos, so I could binge-watch them, when I had the courage..... You Canadians still scare the living daylights out of me ! Paddy, scared
Great addition to the shop Everret, looking forward to more shop chip making. Keith Fenner showed some ready made square tool bit holders with nominal OD from McMaster Carr, can you get those in Canada?. As anyone else seen or know of these? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Sadly, McMaster-Carr does not sell to Canadians for some reason. Machinists in the States have a lot more to work with given the massive catalog they have.
Thanks Ted! This is one of the biggest reasons I wanted a shaper, besides the fact I think they're cool - the reciprocating motion allows you, using a tool holder like this, to reach through the bore in a part and cut internal features. The next video that will be coming out is using this tool holder to cut a metric keyway in a hub. I don't have any metric broaches so the shaper was chosen as the tool of choice.
Well, let's just put it this way - I had to cut three pieces of stock to get one final tool I was happy with, and had to make two nuts as I messed the first one up. Thankfully in the end I had a tool that was useful, it just took a few errors on the way.
I honestly don't know what alloy those S-cam shafts are made of. All I know is it machines nicely, and the price is right as I'm allowed to take as many as I want from our scrap bin at work! Suspecting some form of 1045 or similar alloy, as was suggested by others. Would make sense from how the chips behave coming off.
If you like PD wires take a look at my video showing a new style i came up with that can be used single handedly and being pitch based you don't even need to know the pitch diameter.
I like PD wires because the alternative of a few sets of thread mic's is a bit spendy for my hobby budget, lol! Just watched you video on the wires and that is a very cool idea. Now I'm trying to think of how to make a holder for the wires that I have in my set. Thanks for that, you've got me thinking now!
@@EverettsWorkshop Thanks for the reply, glad you appreciate the idea. Easy enough to make a spring holder for PD wires but the info tag might get crowded. I used copper wire so i could use labels for each different pitch rather than double or triple up the pitch info. I might do a follow up video for you Imp types.
Good useful new tool. That shaper is getting set up nice.
Thanks Randy, just thankful to have one now. Wanted one since high school shop class, to be honest.

Another great machining video Everett. I like your V block you used when boring on the mill. Interesting set up doing the flats. Finished job looks superb really professional, enjoyed the content. Tony
Thanks, the V block was honestly due to being too lazy to want to tram the vise in at that point, lol

Thanks Paul! Hope you're doing well.
@@EverettsWorkshop Doing very well thank you. Life is busy with kids and work. Getting some shop time in as well.
That came out real nice Everett - kudos for the hand filing on the square hole!
Thanks! The hole wasn't perfect but it holds the bit well enough so I'll call it a win.

Thanks again Gary, it does work well as I've used it once already. The video of that is in editing phase.
You a true Canadian eh! Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Lol, yep, Canadian but comprised of some import material, so to speak. Glad you liked it!
A very nice job Everett beautifully executed. So happy you didn't show all that "Quality time with a file" lol
Thanks, the videos get long enough even with editing and pruning. Only a small amount of the video I take makes it to an upload.
Hi Everett, Thanks for the shoutout. I've received your stickers and will give you a shoutout in one of my upcoming videos. By the way great work on the shaper tool.

Well, I've done sketchier, but it was still a bit iffy due to the close proximity of the end mill to the v-blocks. Thankfully it all worked out.

Thanks Peter, I'm thankful for it. Used it once already, the video's being edited. BTW, still making my way through your dividing head videos, looks very cool!
When i made my slotting tool i left the hole round. I made the cutting tool out of an old drill bit. Just a tip.
You know, that would have been far simpler, and I also discovered that a 1/4" hole will almost circumscribe a 3/16" HSS tool blank so I might shorten the failed one and fit a 3/16" tool to it. But yes, using a round tool bit would have made it easier to build, for sure.

Thanks, it does work, and we'll be sharing that in the near future once I get that video edited.

Thank you, I appreciate that! I will continue doing videos as much as I can, it just comes down to available time around wife, son, work, etc.

Nice work. I like the hand filed part, that square hole looks very good.
Thanks, the hole was not perfect but I can get the HSS blank to sit in it reliably and flat, so that was what was necessary.
Looking good. Can't wait to see it in action.
Thanks! That's coming, I just need time to edit the video of cutting the keyway in a hub for a buddy.
Very nice project
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Awesome job. Looks great. Should work great. Thank you for sharing.

Yeah, I was not impressed with the first attempt but looking at it further it will most likely be repurposed as perhaps a smaller bar.
Nice work.
