    Default First changeable Tip tool.

    I have decided to have a go at making my own replaceable Tip tool, so far so good. To this point it has cost $5.30
    I was changing the cutters on the spindle moulder at work and it has 4 , 13mm square bits for getting into the corners of rebates. So a quick chat to foreman and I can take old ones.
    off to metal yard and bought 500 mm of round bar then a stop at bolt shop.
    Final stop at my tame metal workers shop
    This is the end result, just need to turn a handle and a sharpen with a test run
    thanks for looking.

    Chuck, for the swan neck tools, I though that the cutting bit was in line with the shaft, otherwise control of the cut is difficult.First changeable Tip tool.-chuck01-jpgFirst changeable Tip tool.-img_20150215_085319-jpg

    Smiife, to protect me against the Steb drives & centres, they are blessedly sharp!

    I agree with Pat. To say control is difficult is an understatement, I would say a catch waiting to happen.

    Should of asked more questions first! It's a learning curve, any other Tip would be handy.
    They are serious puns! Thanks guys.

    At least it is too long and a relatively easy fix, cut off/grind flat/redrill & tap etc . While your modifying, use a round TC bit rather than square, much better for hollowing

    Could you stick the old ones tip in a vise and ease the curve out of it to line up as it should?
    So much timber, so little time.
