We described this tool and the basic tool rest in an early video. It is not meant to replace 'conventional' tools but sometimes it can be useful for certain applications. Here it is shown in use for roughing a (incomplete) radius, as well as a groove, such as might be wanted for an "O" ring perhaps. Form tools usually do the job better but sometimes this approach can be another option. WARNING - DUE TO FORCES INVOLVED, USE WITH GREAT CARE. This was part of our early "Gadgets & Gizmos" series. |
