MICRO TOOLING CUSTOM BUILD

[@CandidZulu]

That extension on the tailstock looks like a quick way to chatter town!

Cut off the zerk, drill it out and replace it. These kind of things make me want to find the engineer that designed it and throw a coffee in them. LOL...

Enjoyed following along. Thanks for sharing, give some head rubs to the shop cat for me.

Nice job. I had to laugh at your handful of grease. :)

[@Lappemountainliving]

Thanks! You and me both, and of course Tonya

Impressive work as always! Most people hand grind those tools on the bench grinder, seeing how much work goes into making this with a tool cutter grinder was awesome. Could you do something similar with carbide in the future?

Thank you! Great suggestion! Consider it added to the que

Nice video! I have a D-bit grinder and I have done some small bars like these. There is no room for even a 3" chuck on that grinder, so for round boring bars, I use an eccentric bushing with a set screw in a larger collet. For square bars, I have some larger (up to 3/4") 5C square collets and mill up a spacer block for the offset, sometimes with a set screw or some packing as well for insurance. It was interesting to see how you approached making these!

Thanks for commenting!

Would've used a needle adapter. Yours appears more precise though.
