Shaper Tool Holder #1

[@Rustinox]

That will be a very useful tool. I made one long tame ago and it works very well.

[@Workshopfriend]

I think it will be. I believe I got the inspiration for this from a glimpse of your tool holder in one of your videos!

Hello Clive. Thank you for such an informative video. Lovely to see the ‘old school’ drawing at the beginning, followed by your accomplished machining. The tool holder for the shaper is looking very promising. The case hardening at the end was particularly interesting. 👏👏👍😀

Thank you, Andrew. Although I use CAD I think sketching is sometimes useful. It will be more convenient to be able to print out drawings once my printer arrives in the crate with the lathe. Still experimenting with the case hardening.

Nice job. Back in the late sixties in my metalwork class we used Hardite for case hardening low carbon steel, contained Cyanide, not available anymore, can understand why. Produced a sweet odor when heated.

Thank you, Willem. I had a large tin of Kasenit in Pakistan but didn't put in the shipping crate with the lathe because I thought it might cause issues. This modern equivalent seems to work well.

Very interesting video thanks.

[@Workshopfriend]

Glad you found it so!

[@EitriBrokkr]

Can you make a video teaching how to draw like that? It's amazing

[@Workshopfriend]

Now that is an idea! I am no expert but if there is general interest I could do one video.

Nice job. 👍Just found your channel and subbed.

[@Workshopfriend]

Thanks! Enjoyed your hopper project. Oh yes, and I subbed!

@@Workshopfriend Thank you.

That was excellent, I enjoyed it very much. All of your superlative skills were on display. I haven't done any case hardening like that since I was an 18 year old apprentice. It was "Casenit" carburizing powder I used if memory serves. Was it straight propane you heated the part with or oxy propane?

[@Workshopfriend]

Thank you, Carl. This modern equivalent seems to work well, but also seems expensive. The torch was not oxy propane - just propane/air. The fire brick surround was necessary!

The noise sounds like the internal fan in the electric motor ?

[@Workshopfriend]

That is a good idea. It is a new motor, but I will check.
