Power Chamfering Tool

[@PeterPan-my7nb]

Now that's dedication, 2020 prototypes before final product. Mr Oxtool doesn't cut corners! =)

[@AdamHammel]

He cuts corners if the blueprint calls for a chafered... it just clicked.

[@williammoriarity7411]

This is a GOOD comment.

[@shirothehero0609]

No, but he does chamfer them.

[@StefanGotteswinter]

Thanks Tom, very well though out design - Way more sofisticated than the one i built years ago, without height adjustment. I always considered cutting a fine pitch thread on the neck of a Router motor for fine adjust...

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Stefan, I bet you use the heck out of the one you built. I have many tools I have made that I wish I had done slightly differently but have never had the time to go back and change. This tool would have been the same if I had built it with a pneumatic die grinder like I originally intended. Thanks for stopping by! Cheers, Tom

[@jimsvideos7201]

You might be interested in a tool called a microstop countersink; they're common in aviation for precisely countersinking rivet holes and the mechanism may be adapted.

[@shirothehero0609]

@@jimsvideos7201 Thats a good call. I just found a little set and they are wayyy less expensive than I was anticipating. Typically when you say "aviation" or "Porsche" the cost of said tool/widget goes up IMMENSELY. I think I might actually buy this guy i just found: www.skygeek.com/aircraft-tool-supply-133kit-microstop-countersink-kit.html

Tom, we’re the same age, and I can attest to all those handy tools I put off - in hindsight all the time we would have saved and projects that might have ended up better! Now I coach younger people to always try to put aside 10% of their time to “sharpen the knife.” Neat tool!

[@jazzyjay1150]

That’s hilarious

[@JHorvathCinema]

Have you seen those little pneumatic chamfering tools? Look like a mini palm router with a “router bit” that takes a triangular insert. Not quite an analog for your tool, but they work well for chamfering a hole or slot if you have a steady hand

[@whitehoose]

That would stand proudly next to the power squeegee in the gizmos you never knew you needed but now can't live without. I didn't buy a squeegee, mainly because everyone else did! But this I would buy like a shot. I am a compulsive sprue trimmer I built a thing like a potato peeler to shave those aggravating and often sharp little seams from tool handles and the like, When I first started work one of my first jobs was to use a hand auger -with a plastic loop but no crosspiece to make a small hole in a piece of wood, I felt quite pleased until I spotted the other 999 - by the end of the day the moulded loop had almost bored a hole on my delicate schoolboy palm and the burst blister was leaking. Being my first day I just cracked on I wasn't going to ask for a glove or a piece of wood to make a handle. Before I went home I trimmed that loop 'till it glittered. I never forgot and always trim the sharp edges and chamfer corners before using all my tools for the first time. So I'd appreciate a flat surface trim option as well as the chanfer on v2.1 of the tool please Tom.

[@bid6413]

Tom, Great fun seeing your log cabin self at work. You look happy! Please trim the ends of the bottom uninstrut bracket on the lathe before someone gets their ankle sliced open. Glad you’re following you instinct about insulation. It is a bit of a scam in my opinion. They buy the insulation in large quantities cheap. The actual installers will usually be underpaid and will do the in less time than you can imagine. Installing foam panels or, having it sprayed on could save you some $. I’m not sure. One thing I am an expert on is mice. Do everything you can to seal up your building now; they’ll still get in, just not as many. If you can, I suggest you install exhaust fans before you insulate the ceiling? Cheers, Will.

[@firstmkb]

Hells, yes, I want the design! Actually, I want yours, and for free, and with a sound baffle, but realize that might sound selfish. Beautiful work, Tom. I look forward to watching the rest of this video!

Sound baffle? That might take a while. I'll get right back to you...... cheers, Tom

[@firstmkb]

oxtoolco no worries, Tom. If it had every feature I could think of, it would be autonomous and crawl around the shop at night looking for sharp edges to "fix." I'm jealous because I won't ever make something that professional.

Tom, you need a chamfering tool to chamfer your chamfering tool! Very cool item and handy. Thank you for sharing

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

Oh wow, that's handy as hell, great idea. I can see other possibilities for this tool as well, such as quick change vee blocks (or just a split vee block that you can widen or narrow) for different angles, or an adjustable stop on one side so you can quickly cut circlip/ring grooves in round stock with a smaller cutting tool...just lay the round stock in the vee block and rotate it to cut a few thou at a time.

[@protospace270]

I made something quite similar to this years ago... unfortunately i don't remember which channel i got the idea from. Super, SUPER useful tool. I cannot overstate the increase in shop-good-feels i get from having perfectly even chamfers, perfect every time.

[@bgpnu]

I’d like to see the designs if you ever draw them up. I also want to build the “male” version of this tool. That is, a tool to cut a narrow (.030-060) relief (~.050” deep) in the inside corner of an internal angle (30, 60, 90, etc). IE, the relief in a dovetail...Could be a saw or a tiny endmill and will be more dangerous if not designed properly, but very useful. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice, as far as the machining for the center nut, I have tried the same thing, and what I found is that if it was a regularly used adjustment reference, the flat on the nut was to short to last for any length of time, so it might have been a blessing in disguise. You're still totally amazing.

Hi,Tom. I don't know if you've seen the video but Stefan Gotteswinter made a bench mounted power chamferer using a cheap small sized router. He used the type you can detach the base plate from.

Ryobi makes descent tools and the One + have over one hundred tools available using same power configuration and their drill, driver, hammer drill combo really works well and doesn't over-cost the wallet.

[@oxtoolco]

Hi Joseph, Normally I'm allergic to Ryobi but this particular drywall trimmer had a couple of features that won me over. The circular neck, the top speed and the low price since I would be abusing it on metal. Yes the downside is now I have another battery system in the shop. Cheers, Tom

Heck Industries Inc. makes similar tools; they have a pnuematic deburring tool like you mentioned, larger electric power bevelers, and bench top "bevel mills".

Hey Doug, After I released the video I realized I should have shown the unit clamped in the vise. You can grab it by the main clamp and hold it in the vise. Works pretty good. Cheers, Tom

[@melgross]

I agree. It’s hard to remember which edges. The problem is that a square has too many sides (strange, but the general purpose rectangle has the right number). I’ve been working on an improved square for some 30 years, but, for some reason, I haven’t been able to perfect it yet. I’m close though!

[@brucewilliams6292]

Hi Tom, this is very cool. Do you have some sort of drawing? I have everything else to get this done. Thanks for the video.

[@Joe___R]

Nice design, the only thing I would do is break the edges on the groves you milled into the v-block.

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Joe, That would defeat the purpose of how they work. They actually shear off little chips and bits as the block slides down the vee. Kind of like how a foot on an indicator base is sharp cornered to prevent dust and dirt from going underneath. I did flatten the surfaces so you don't feel any sharp edges when you run you hand down the vee. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom

[@firstmkb]

I thought you were joking. I was going to ask Tom to show us how to sharpen that little bit he used on the grooves, but didn't know if it would sound funny, or like I was a jerk. I had no idea the sharp edges served a purpose!

What did you use to punch the holes in the spring steel ?

[@oh8wingman]

There is a tool that is readily available called a laminate trimmer the is used to chamfer the laminated used on countertops. These tools have a no load cutter speed of up to 36,000 RPM. Most already have a table that slides towards and away from the 1/4" cutter that has a fine setting for depth adjustment built in. The bottom plates on many models have a metal table with a plastic face which is removable and normally have a number of holes in it so it could have a V block bolted to it. Because they are one of those tools that most people don't understand what they are used for and tend to ignore them, they can be picked up in good condition for a small amount of money in pawnshops.

[@PeterWMeek]

Nice tool. I just happen to have a small battery trimmer. It doesn't do much as a general-purpose router (which is what I hoped it would do), so maybe it's a candidate for a chamfering tool. It will probably depend on whether I find a nice round nose for clamping when I check it.

[@namibsands]

Wonderfully made! Excellent video too. This is just what I need. Do you have any that you would be willing to sell? (I can get the Ryobi tool). Unfortunately I don't have a mill to create such a device. I'm currently chamfering stainless steel parts using a jig attached to a sand belt, but it takes a long time and the parts get hot. I need something like this to speed things up :). They have a few rounded sides, but I should be able to rotate them in your device's jig to chamfer the round sides, which suppose I would have to do anyway with any other chamfering machine.

[@DLS_MFG]
