@@ClickspringClips I still don't understand what it does.

He needed to make some small gears so he made a gear cutter, shown in the link above to cut the gears. To make the cutter for the gears he had to make a tool, shown in this video in order to get the profile off the gear cutter correct. In order for this tool to cut properly, he had to align it with the center of the lathe chuck. That is why at the end of the video he has the small rod close to the nib in that brass part held in the chuck.

The fact that you sanded so close to that hole without breaking through the sides pretty much says it all. Nice work.

[@shawnjohnson9148]

I never thought locktite would have that kind of holding strength. That's impressive!

[@joseantonioteixeira7974]

As always a good surprise in your work, I'm a hobbyist and could (I believe many would like) show us the cutting tool formats that you make according to your needs, how you shape and sharpen?

[@MatthewRulla]

I've done this with similar sized drill rod, but I silver soldered it into the tool holder. I love making D-bits for odd sized holes. Also easy to make custom reamers, as you've posted in previous videos.

This was a very nice break from shoveling snow from my driveway. This is the longest I've been kept out of the shop by cold weather for many years. This was a nice break, thanks!

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

C'mon John... no excuses, just put on a few layers & git to it ... 🙄😂 (not a big fan of operating my machines with frozen digits either 🥶)

[@johndilsaver8409]

Peter, well it can warm up 48 Fahrenheit degrees from the coldest point we had, and still be below freezing. Unless the wind is brutal I can be in the shop when the temp is upper 20's F or higher and do ok. I shoveled a path to the shop door yesterday, today I get inside!

Nice to see someone using a belt sander NOT to make a knife to stab someone with it! Nice one Chris

Beautiful!

[@VMX42AUS]

Chris...what is the name of the tool you used to hold the small blank for grinding??? Cheers!!!

[@jeffarmstrong1308]

I didn’t notice when this was first posted but you seem to use several different belts on the vertical sander. What grades did you use? The coarsest one seems *very* coarse - which is how my attention was drawn to the apparent changes.

[@ClickspringClips]

Hello mate - yes I typically run 60 grit and 400 grit belts for most work - Cheers :)

[@thermonucleardevice]

I use Red Label Abrasives, I've been very happy with their 1"x30" ceramic belts for rough grinding, and they sell variety packs for 1"x30" belts grinders.

Hello Clickspring, please what is the little Stick, a old Hss Drillbit?

Yes a drill bit is excellent, also HSS drill rod; any accurately sized HSS (or hardened/tempered carbon steel) - Cheers :)

What does that do? And before some smart ass says it’s a button cutter, that doesn’t help.

[@danielharris1707]

It would be used to produce a single point gear cutter.

[@14768]

It doesn't help to tell you that it's a button cutter because that's it's name, not what it does. What it does is... It cuts buttons...

@@TFlorian, I just had it recommended last week so I thought it was the last one in order. I just looked and you’re right, the Cycloidal Cutter video is three months old already. I’m subscribed to this channel and his regular channel so I don’t know why they aren’t sending me notifications for it. Seems I’ve got a couple videos to catch up on, that’s always a good thing!
