Excellent, love the chuck. Subscribed. Does your shaper cut on the return stroke? I've never seen that.. at least not on purpose. Better than having hot chips straight down one's shirt!

+This Old Tony Thank you Tony! I have two clapper boxes, one cuts on pull, one on push. I prefer the pull type for the reason you mentioned ;)
@ThisOldTony8 жыл бұрын
+Stefan Gotteswinter interesting.. do you have additional switch/lever to tell the shaper which way its cutting? it looks like the cut stroke is slower (as it should be), but how does the machine know which clapper box you have installed? that's not one of those new programmable CNC shapers is it? :) by the way, i know this is the wrong place, but I'm still laughing at your 20k rpm tool holder.
@StefanGotteswinter8 жыл бұрын
+metalhead2508 You have to tell the machine if you want to cut on pull or push - The return motion of the shaper ram is faster because of the motion of the crank/yoke in the machine.

You could reverse a three phase motor by switching two phases, but some single phase motors can be electrically reversed as well by changing the polarity of the second coil and the operation capacitor (plus starter capacitor). Check out this link: woodgears.ca/motors/reversing.html That said, as long as the mechanical side of things can live with that. What you should check is if the fan on the end of the motor will still work as desired if run in reverse and if insecure, contact your local electrician. As far as i understood, those shapers usually have a whitworth quick return mechanism, which would run similar in CCW as in CW, besides the intended effect of having the quick return on the other stroke. Any other function like automatic lubrication and power feed direction would need to be taken care of and might be harder to overcome. So i am curious how Stefan gets it working just by reversing the motor. Either the power feed is independent of the direction (seems to be Geneva-like?) or it can be reversed as well. It is an interesting machine...

I added some 10mm threaded holes to the edge of the face of my offset chuck build. I use them tho mount some chunky tungsten weights on the opposite side as my offset. It makes my lathe run much happier when turning offset parts. I was pretty limited as far as top speed goes because of vibration, and the weights cured it.

Hi Stefan, great work as usual :-) I thought perhaps an engraved scale across the T slot could be useful in coarse alignment, combine this with another T nut that could be clamped at the outer end of the T slot and a threaded rod from this T nut to the clamping T nut could provide a fine adjustment. The additional T nut could also help (in a small way) to offset the offset weight of the v-block. just a thought!

I liked the idea of using something like this for grinding. I have a magnetic chuck (faceplate) for my lathes, which I usually put a three jaw chuck on for grinding (so I can bump it around until it's dead true), but I have a "Keats" style V angle plate which I could use instead and avoid getting abrasive dust in the chuck - and if need by I could scrape the mounting surface dead square with the flats of the V to give better perpendicularity to the face of the chuck, which is dusted dead square to the axis with the toolpost grinder for really fussy work.

Does your shaper have the same operating force in both directions? I can imagine if you were to pull-cut on a machine with a scotch yoke, you would want to reverse the motor rotation. That would give the mechanical advantage of the drive system.

Gorgeous work Stefan. I was thinking it would be possible to add another T-nut which would anchor a transverse nut that would allow you to use a threaded piece to adjust the eccentricity. Once it was set you could remove it for machining. Probably not really necessary as tapping works pretty well. Did you cut the T slot on the mill or in your shaper? The chuck part is so smoothly machined it looks surface ground. I would have thought that you would need to use tungsten tooling to cut that hardened steel. It seemed to cut very well with HSS though. I'm going to see if I can buy some of that steel. It looks like great stuff.

For a while, when i didn't have a height gauge i also used the blocks + scriber method. To make my life easier and because all of my blocks are of equal width (something not all height blocks share, i know) i made a steel sleeve that went over the scriber + block. Simple design that snugged over the block with the help of two thumb screws over a strip of copper (took inspiration from the adjusting screws on calipers). It worked really nice since i only had to concern myself with keeping the block down not the scriber too, which can get a bit annoying when doing more complicated parts or even heights that require stacking blocks.

One of the parts I need to produce in my work are switch panels. These are generally make from acrylic .125" thick some time 20" in length. I could use a magnetic chuck with some sacrificial piece beneath and some steel washers on top. Or I also considered a vacuum chuck. The positive are that it could be made in modules to get the 20" length which is costly in a magnetic chuck and the base could be built in the shop. The negatives are the clutter and cost of a vacuum pump and the sacrificial under piece would need to permit vacuum to the part being machined.Do you have any experience with this?

That first harmonic area of speed is usually referred to as the first critical if it is due to resonance which can be confirmed by a phase shift, no worries though. Want to make that vibration go away? if so use a metal container about the same size as the motor, (old paint can maybe) and fill it about 2/3 full of sand and strap it to the motor so that the motor can still cool itself.
