FoR 16mm Parting Tool Combo

				

				

					FoR (Front or Rear) Inverted Parting Toolholder includes a fine, high-strength Crobalt parting tool. Operates with  blade held upside down. Use in front or rear tool post. Model specifically set for tool posts on 16mm Diamond Toolholder. 
  • Inverted blade design significantly reduces  chance of jam-up and blade breakage
  • Minimal side overhang and no front overhang help maximize rigidity
  • Cutting takes place on underside. Swarf tends to fall out of groove rather than pile up on top of cutting edge
  • Lack of swarf on top of blade means coolant is free to get right in to cutting edge
  • Horizontal mounting of blade further reduces chance of blade pulling itself into cut and is especially advantageous when turning brass and bronze.
  • Simple to resharpen--only front face has to be ground. 
Features/Tips
If backordered, shipping may take 2 to 3 weeks.

The Machinist's Second Bedside Reader 

				

				

					By Guy Lautard
				

				

					The Machinist's Second Bedside Reader takes up where basic texts on machine shop practice leave off. It tells you, in a comfortable, easy-reading style, many old and obscure tricks of the trade; helps you get things done better, faster, and easier in your shop; shows you how to make a number of useful shop tools, and introduces you to areas of metalworking you many never have thought of before.
 Like the first book, the Second Bedside Reader is filled with more hints, tips, and projects. It contains full plans for:
  •  an elegant between-centers boring bar
  • a poor man's jig borer
  • an overhead drive for your milling spindle
  • a toolpost fixture for rounding the ends of small parts
  • a fixture for cutting multiple-start threads
  • a simple shop-made sine bar and sine fixture for your milling machine
  • ..... and much more!

     Also included in full is "The Bullseye Mixture," Guy's story about precision metalworking, rifle making, friendship, and the recipe for case hardening that may not be the only Bullseye Mixture in life.
    Paperback, 277pages.
