Making 3 Carbide Lathe Tools for $40

Making your own Carbide Lathe tools is a way to save some money. I made 3 for about $40, instead of spending $80 on just one tool.

That screaming lead guitar took this to the next level.

Really nice job! I think you've inspired me to make my own....

[@howardnd9043]

Methinks Katie should have made fewer runs through the drive-thru for a double quarter-pounder with cheese and large fries, and a side of lard.

[@OldDave750]

Well done , you have inspired me to make a set , nice work.

[@topguncg47]

Smart move on the past wax. When you first did it I was intrigued as to why the wax then it hit me when you started gluing it up. 👍

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

Brilliant, well done.

[@MrJinga27]

Nice work...l'm going to give this a try. Thx

[@jani9110]

Great job! Already make set,also my square tool is to lose,i will fix same way you did 17:00...thanks to share this video.

[@reloadNshoot]

Nice. I learned that using a pair of vise-grip type pliers while tapping equals a orange mushroom cloud.

[@dirkvanbesien]

Very nice!

[@teejay2726]

WOW that is awesome..and only 40 bucks. Great way to get custom tools.

[@RabbitwoodWorkshop]

yeah there always seem to be ways to do it cheaper, doing it yourself.

[@famasmaster2000]

Nice job! I'm doing the same thing currently. I'm looking for a good resource for the carbide. I found the steel bar at Atwoods in our local town.

[@Eric..F]

Awesome job! Thank you for taking the time to post! BTW, is that an 8-32 tap?

[@JessyRenae]

I need to know the tap size too.

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

Very nice, the hot wire and copper ferrules did it for me , most people wouldn't bother, but I would... My first ever proper wood lathe arrives next week so I will be copying these as I only have 3 old HSS lathe chisels which are ok but I have hundreds of Carbide tips from my metal working days collected hmmm. , I also have nice old calipers for working on wood lathes so will be cleaning them up for shaping and so on. Do you recommend a thread or would a nut and bolt work and is there a specific length of bar you need, I live in spain and its metric here but from memory on the tips its an imperial thread? I know the overall chisel length but not the bar. Nice work and finish. many thanks.

Magnifique

[@JLang-bn3hs]

What size tap did you use?

[@lannabulls]

You got skills my friend, watching you at work is a pleasure! We're did you find the copper coupling, hoping it's the correct name, I'm not a born English speaking tongue, thanks so much for your help!

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

the copper is probably just a copper fitting from plumbing or a piece of pipe cut down. that is what i would do and then turn the wood to the diameter of the copper Ferrule..

[@roystheboy]

great work saved your self a lot of money can you tell me what the copper caps are called and where can i get them

[@RabbitwoodWorkshop]

They were couplings from the plumbing isle of the hardware store that I had just cut them down to the size I wanted.

[@teejay2726]

We can talk about some knives that need handles. 👍

[@scarcesmith4151]

Hello, thanks for the video, what kind of steel is the square steel?

[@RabbitwoodWorkshop]

just basic cold rolled steel from the hardware store. nothing special.

[@scarcesmith4151]

@@RabbitwoodWorkshop Thank you so much for the answer, please keep going with these very useful videos

[@leongt1954]

God the steel would cost more than $40 here in Aus without the other stuff

hey zirx it arrg how you doing man? hope is all well with you my dude

[@RabbitwoodWorkshop]

Hey man, doing pretty well myself working a lot, staying alive anyways lol. How are you doing

[@randyarnold2473]

@@RabbitwoodWorkshop not to bad moved back to texas colorado man... its expensive. You driving a truck? Last we talked i think you were taking classes right?

[@RabbitwoodWorkshop]

Randy Arnold yeah it has almost been a year since I got the license. Been driving all over the Midwest mostly. And bought a house fixer upper recently. Texas seems better anyways, have there been any good games lately.

[@randyarnold2473]

Rabbitwood Workshop tbh I give it all up I still play every once in a while. I think I played so much for those few years I’m just burned out haha. I logged onto steam the other day and noticed fault has a beta or alpha out. We just bought a fixer upper too good think you know how to nail boards together though lol

[@RabbitwoodWorkshop]

Randy Arnold yeah those were some good times while it lasted. I play my ps4 every once in awhile. I bet a lot the ppl trying to remake the game are realizing how much time and work it really takes to make one. Working on my house, I’m realizing that it takes at least twice the amount of time to get things done than what initially thought. If not longer lol

[@dave_ecclectic]

Why bother to notch the metal for the inserts? Why not simply screw them onto the square bar?
