That's one big pen there, Robert. Nice set-up.

First, my disclaimer, I know nothing about lathes, but:
Did any of you guys notice ALL the templates hanging on the wall in back of the lathe?
Also, the "carriage" motor hanging off the front of the lathe. Is that to power the "carriage"? What brand of lathe is that?
Regards,
Bill
Like Bill,
I noticed the templates but, I also have the question about the orange moterized thing on the bed of the lathe. What is it? A duplicator?
Look at the center pic, you can see vise grips holding the pattern to the lathe, oh how I lust for one of these
very nice robert! what size tool does your duplicator take? and what`s the geometry? i grind my own for the minimax but it`s a toy compared to yours. tod
Now that's a toothpick maker! Cool!

The lathe is a hapfo ap 5000 hydro king ,and the motor does run the carriage back and forth .Originally Posted by Bill Antonacchio

I think your asking about the cutter right? it is 3/4 by 3/4 six inches long high speed steel ,it is hollow ground and v cut on the under side .I have a special grinder that holds the tool at a specific angle , First thing I do is change all the angles when I get a new bit ,it takes some fiddling to get the perfect angle setting on the grinder but after that it works well.Originally Posted by tod evans

robert, here`s some shots of the cutters mine uses. i grind the profile on my old converted surface grinder using an indexing vice to set the angles. if you wouldn`t mind i`d like to see pictures of your grinding set-up? fyi, i buy blank tool steel from msc industrial, if memory serves it`s under 10 bucks for 1/2x1/2 out of m2Originally Posted by ROBERT SCHUMAN
