Thanks from me as well. I have an anvil made from railway track that I cannot bolt down because the base has a radius that I cannot access, but now I have project to add to the growing list.

You can use an extra thick washer ground on an angle on 1 side too. Little quicker, not quite as technical

This is such a great project. There have been many times when I could have used a counterbore tool but I just can't afford them. I have plenty of O1 tool steel and I think that I will give this project a try. I'm a newbie but this project appears to be simple enough all I can do is try and try again.

@@CreaseysWorkshop I can do heat treatment on the steel, and I can machine the part. The only thing I am not very good at is the grinding part to sharpen the tool. Trying to learn a bit of tool grinding and would like to build a tool and cutter grinder
@CreaseysWorkshop2 ай бұрын
If you have a bench grinder a good start is to get a white aluminium oxide wheel and a diamond dresser for it. Both are pretty cheap. Then make a nice sturdy rest instead of the cheap metal rubbish that comes with the grinder. It will up your grinding game 1000%
@taranson30572 ай бұрын
@@CreaseysWorkshop I currently have an 80-grit grey grinding wheel that is really nice but I think it is for mild steel, not the harder steel types. I will definitely be making a new steady rest today, the one that came with the grinder is terrible.

My experience is that end mills don’t go so well as counterbores. In this case there wasn’t clearance anyway. You could do it from the side but it would look terrible.
