an upgrade to a solid rough out tool
Hand one of the first lot left over, so I drilled it out to as big a piece of HSS it could handle and would have liked to go to 12mm, but no chance. A 12mm blade would need a 25mm shaft.
Its a piece of 10mm or 3/8 sq x 100mm I intend to use it for roughing out blanks and large-ish open bowls such as fruit bowls, platters etc.
The HSS is M2 although I have a piece of M42 somehweres darned if I can find it, hopefully it will turn up after the move. Given M42s wear and abrasion characteristics it would be my first choice.

I've been thinking about it.
The shaft of the Vermec is actually 25mm.
I'd also like one of those 'flat edge' clamps that the Sorby Spiraling tool uses but that is a different diameter again.
I'll think about it & take some more measurements & get back to you.Cliff.

OK, here we go....
The Vermec handle is 25mm with a 12mm hole up it for holding tools.
The hughie Ripsnorter is a 20mm bar with hole slightly bigger than 13mm up it.
The Sorby Spiralling tool (Pic below) is an 18.5mm bar with a beauty clamp on it to give it an adjustable flat for the tool rest.
What I'd like is an supersized hughie Ripsnorter made from 25mm bar with a 12mm tang, a hole to take a 1/2" (12.5mm) tool tip & one of those adjustable Sorby flat clamps to fit.
I guess that I could get away with the Sorby clamp if the supersized hughie Ripsnorter had a couple of groves in it turned down to 18.5mm.
Actually, I don't really need the flat clamp because I have the adjustable Vermec side handle but the flat clamp would be nice.
What do you reckon.... is this thing is going to be heavy or what?
Now then... once I have this supersized hughie Ripsnorter, I can cut 75mm off the business end of the Ci1, (shaft is 1/2") stick it in the Ripsnorter & have a TCT tip holder as well.
I'd have a hard time breaking that one.Cliff.

So, have you bought the overhead crane to hoist it up to the toolrest yet? Or are you going to settle for just a block & tackle?
Is he taking orders yet? I've been dropping hints about the same ('cept for the Sorby clamp. I see no need for that... ) but I'm either too subtle or he's just ignoring me. Probably the latter; Hughie strikes me as a cluey bloke.
