Thread: M2 HSS Turning Chisel Batch Order

Cool. Thanks for the update and all of your efforts.

What will the price change be for the tear-drop scrapers? Same?

No Change.

I spoke to Hills Heat Treatment, they are fished with the heat treatment, they have sent me the invoice. I am waiting for a few people to pay up and I can pay Hills Heat Treatment, and RayG can pick up the items.

The owner of the firmer chisels has stepped up and will pay for them. I am not willing to break up sets it makes life to complex and its not worth my time.

The blades are gone, I need to send pm's to those who picked them up.

I will send out a PM to the turners this week. RayG will start the clean up of the turning tools first, before the firmer, paring, or plane blades. So we can get you guys out of the way and dusted. I will start to collect postal addresses this week for the turners.

Do those people know who they are?

The items are back from the heat treater. RayG has posted some photos here. Ray says that they is virtually no distortion after the heat treatment and the RC is right on the money.

I will send out all PM to all the turners to collect your postal address. RayG says he will have the turning tools done in two weeks.

Here's a few pictures..











The surfaces are clean, and they have given all the parts a light oil coating.

I checked one of the thinnest paring chisels for warping/twisting and it looks good, I can't say for sure that all the paring chisels will have survived without warping, but so far it looks good.

A did a quick check on hardness, I measure it as 62 Rc, but my hardness tester generally reads a little on the low side, so I'd say 63-64 Rc is about right.

Hills Heat Treatment have done well.. ( I'll admit to being a bit nervous)

Regards
Ray

Hi TS,

While I appreciate that these respective projects have all taken time to wrestle to this point in the process, I and perhaps others am curious why you have settled on this particular order of finalizing the orders?


Not having a dig, just wanting an Idea of the reasoning, is it a case of there are more turning orders and fewer of the others or is this being done in the order the projects kicked off?

We finish the simple stuff first. Turning tools are simple, are quick to finish and have no extras attached to them, like handles & sockets. Turning items are also the smallest number of items.

Looking forward to the teardrop scraper bits.

Ray says they'll come in at about 4mm thick. The Munro screw will accommodate that; can't say for the Sorby as I hacked mine to take a metric thread screw. Talking about 1 mm increase here.

Ray advises that the surface finish will be as good as if not better than the last Stanley replacement blade job.

Given the flatness and hardness we can expect, these should be sh*t hot bits.

Thanks TS and Ray.

I have forwarded all your postal addresses to RayG.

Attached is a copy of what I have in my spreadsheet, can you check that you are down for the right items. If there is a mistake PM me and I will correct.

pm sent

Mine is correct. My name then was Glenlara. Now Pagie.

RayG has back to me with the counts of what turning tools we have. The water jet cutter seems to have given us a few to many of some and not enough of one item.

Here is a photo of the turning tools:



Here is a list what we have, what is extra and what is short:



This means we have the following extra & up for grabs:

• 2 EXTRA @ 12 wide x 6.5 mm thick Skew @ $30 each
• 7 EXTRA @ 6 wide x 4.5 mm thick Skew @ $30 each
• 1 EXTRA @ 10 wide x 4.5 mm thick Skew @ $30 each
• 4 EXTRA @ 4.5 mm thick Munro Scraper @ $20 each

We need to find homes for these tools, so if you want to pick them up they are finished and ready for you. Just send me a PM.

All we can do at this point is swap one of the missing items for something we have extra or I can refund your cash. I will send a PM to those who are affected.
