Build a Muller - Sand Machinery Vol. 1

				

				

					By Stephen D. Chastain
				

				

					If you have built Steve's furnaces, then you know that melting a large amount of metal is easy. Properly preparing enough sand for the molds to hold all that metal can be a real chore, but here's professional grade foundry sand muller to take the work out of making molding sand. The plans in the book are scalable up or down to make a core sand muller or a 42-inch muller from a 500-gallon tank. Steve is a regular contributor to The Home Shop Machinist magazine as well as self publisher of his books. We are proud to carry all his titles.

Crobalt Solid Round Bit 1/4"x2" L

				

				

					Crobalt solid round tool bits are furnished centerless ground to the tolerances shown above, with both ends ground square. These tool bits are appropriate for use in a Diamond Toolholder, for especially smooth cuts on tough materials. They are recommended for boring, drilling and reaming applications. Solid rounds can also be furnished to different tolerances, and in the as-cast condition with a stock allowance of .030" on the diameter. 
This machine lathe metal-cutting tool assures you of a smooth finish on any metal or even hard plastic. Crobalt has proven itself to be the best of the new alloys.

Crobalt Solid Round Bit 3/16"x1-1/2" L

				

				

					These Crobalt tips are 3/16" x 1-1/2" with round ends to be ground to the correct angle by the customer, using the Diamond Tool Holder grinding jig that comes with each tool holder kit. This size is appropriate for the users of the new ML8mm Diamond Toolholders, designed for the small bench top lathes, such as the Unimat, Atlas 6", Sherline, and other new Asian lathes.
Crobalt cast alloy is an alternative tool bit to the HSS tips usually used in the Diamond Tool Holders, its ideal for turning tough materials such as stainless, cast iron, and high carbon steels. Tougher and less brittle than carbide it can be ground using a normal aluminum oxide wheel, Crobalt contains 50% cobalt with the remainder being tungsten and chromium, there is no iron or steel in the alloy.
Watch the Diamond Toolholder in action doing a comparison test between M42 HSS (CoHSS) and Crobalt cast alloy -- both toolbits are 1/4" square.
They are being used in a Right Hand 12mm model Diamond Tool Holder, to turn 304 and 316 stainless bar and an interrupted cut on a piece of cast iron.
The lathe is a 1960s Colchester Chipmaster.
