Catching up on past videos. Thank you for saying a very good truth at the end of the video. Perfection in the work product is great, but more important is the happiness we feel in doing something we enjoy. Sharing my mistakes on my channel is part of the process. I am just a mechanic learning to machine... LOL. All the best!

Thank you Michael. When I make T nuts I upset the bottom threads so the stud doesn’t go right through which can jack up the T nut breaking away the top of the cast iron table. Take care.

Well, I don't. I tighten the stud lightly by and, witch prevent it from moving while installing the others.

I took the easy way out and bought both clamping sets, including the T-nuts. The set for the rotary table fits the shaper but the length of the clamping studs was wrong so some cut lengths of threaded rod were needed. I might still take your lead and make a few special T-nuts for the vise anyway to help it fit better.

I like to make my own tools if it's possible. Using your home made tools is very satisfying and it gives me more flight hours on the shaper.

thank you, good video.

Thanks for watching.

Thank you for another interesting and helpful video. Using one tool for roughing out both ways is a neat idea. I had been considering shaper tools as the same effectively as lathe tools and essentially they are similar but as you demonstrate there are differences. I do have a book on lathe and shaper tools (No need to feel jealous) as it has less specifics than you supply in your videos. so thank you very much. I have only done two jobs on my shaper thus far as the machine itself is a work in progress. I have stripped and cleaned it and adjusted the gibs then re-assembled it but it has no feed mechanism or micrometer dials. I have been making a dial for the vertical feedscrew using a design for the Myford ML7 by George Thomas but realised that he had left insufficient room for the digits so I have re-drawn and commenced a second iteration. A new pivot dovetail assembly was turned and milled and awaits having the dovetails cut on the shaper but I would like to make a better job of it and have ordered more steel. Thank you for informing us that you are Belgian, I was wondering. In another video you commented that someone was ribbing you about your accent but as it is common for many mainland Europeans to speak several languages whilst many of the Anglophiles such as i seem to struggle with one language I think that you may content yourself with a presumed position of superiority. With regard to your grinding rest it may pay you to have a look at the grinding rest designed by Harold Hall which having doetails would be a good shaper project. It was the single most popular design in the Model Engineers Workshop magazine to date and has many accessories for grinding drill bits and mills etc. Thank you again. You have been most helpful in expanding my knowledge of the shaping machine.

Thanks for your imput, Jack. Always interesting. BTW, never be afraid to ask questions. Out there in the KZread world there are tons of people who are willing to help.

Love the intro....and making T nuts without a vise brilliant. I agree making the T nuts must be a bit slack of fit in the T slots. There a pain in the neck if they are too tight and get stuck. Great tool set up instruction. Tony

Again a nice video. Regarding the carbide inserts: I haven't tried it on my shaper as well, but all the information I have heard and read about it, say that you need to lift of the tool on the back stroke ot otherwise the tip will break an the edge of the workpiece.

@Rustinox

3 жыл бұрын

I tried and it works, sort of. But i don't see a real benefit using inserts instead of high speed steel.

@titanicjb

@@Rustinox You could/have to use higher cutting speeds, which is not possible on most shapers I know (unless you have a very short stroke). You have to use different grinding wheels (SiC, CBN or Diamonds) instead of Corund, which are commonly not available in the home work shop (at least, I don't have either of them at hand). Both arguments speak against carbide on the shaper. If you are in a hurry, the shaper isn't the best choice.

Thankyou again.

Enjoy your humour and layer back attitude.

At 15:43 in the video, why do you have the flapper tilted but the tool pointing straight down?

@Rustinox

Жыл бұрын

The tool at 90° to have the right cutting angles and the clapper in an angle to clear the work in 2 directions on the backstroke.

Keep'm coming! Tried carbide inserts in my shaper with no luck, broke really quickly. Had a lot of luck with braised carbide tooling though. Don't know if you watched my table feed vid kzread.info/dash/bejne/pa151NNxfbiqkrA.html The cast iron had a large chilled area part ways down which a high spped steel tool wouldn't touch, swapped to a braised carbide an it didn't even notice the change of hardness as it worked down. One cut down trued the face up perfectly using my slowest stroke and finest feed, reasonable finish as well. As you can see there's plenty of holes in the piece giving an interupted cut, gave me no problems at all. Colin

@Rustinox

Indeed i watched your video but i didn't see it was a carbide tipped tool. Of course, after making this video, i couldn't resist to try an insert tool on my shaper. I held down the clapper with rubber bands, with great results. The machine set on 100 strokes/min, it made really nice curly chips. I will show this in an upcoming video.

Yea shaper time.
