[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-ycMi9N3RA"]YouTube - Ci1 Easy Rougher Natural Edge Bowl Part 1/5[/ame]

Part 1/5

I like to keep the parts below 7 minutes, or my computer chokes on the rendering (I know, I need a new computer).

This time out, a Natural Edge bowl.

Cheers!

My order arrived today, certainly fast, 6 days including a weekend.

I have a tool holder that I got for $20 from McJings at the TWWW show that will hold them.
The tip of the tool holder is slightly wider but I can fix that on the grinder.

The chip deflector won't fit the McJing holder without a lot of grinding so I'll have to fiddle with that a bit.
I'll probly make a new bracket for it.

Not only are they hideous but they look like something you might find in some kinky sex shop. No offense to those of you who dont remember what that is!

Yes Stuart I bought 1 of Northwoods 2" roughing gouges and gave a final hone and took to a big rough chunk of wood and it was great and then thought try a little bit and turned a pen to ready to sand Nah scraping aint turning although in some cases there is a place for it Regards to all W W WALLY

Well Cliff, we're all awaiting to see what you did and how you got on. We need to know how they held up and whether the McJing holder does the job or ... ?

Sorry, hold your breath a bit longer.... I haven't even taken them out of the little plastic packet yet.

I already have a PM request for better photos & some measurements that I will get later tonight.

I had a request by PM for some closer shots & some details about the cutting tips.

The only marking on them are the numbers 1 to 4 to mark the sides on 2 of them & one just has a dimple in one corner.

They measure 15mm across, 2.2mm thick & the hole is 6.4mm & countersunk.
The bevel angle is 60°.

I went over to Sandvik today to try and source the square inserts locally. No luck, however they do have 15mm, 19mm, and 25mm square tips about 6mm thick with a 4mm hole through the middle. These tips have a 90 degree edge so they can be turned over and used both sides. They cost $19.76, $29.20 and $75.60 EACH respectively, this price probably does not include GST and can only be bought in packs of 10. These prices are for the SNMA style tips, the 25mm tips are not listed in the catalogue but they are available in Australia.

Cliff,

Have you road tested them yet and are they a good thing? (on Stu's video they appear to work well)


Fredo

Not yet, I have some nice fresh firewood that looks a bit too good to burn so I should whack a bit on the lathe & shred it.

Arrrr.... Sanvik.... GJ, you just reminded me, I scored a Sandvik Tungsten Carbide 449 Scraper blade for a 448 paint scraper.
I just went & dug it up.
It is a triangle bit, 23m along each side, about 1.7mm thick with a 5.5mm hole and a 60° bevel.
This division was taken over by Bahco.
This is the new version of what I have.
Another pic here and more info here.
It has got to be worth a try.

Now thats a far more economical proposition! Do you reckon it's sharp and thick enough to do the job Cliff????
