Make Do And Mend

摘要

My machine came complete with a couple of holders that screw onto the lathe mandrel and support slitting saws. Whilst extremely robust and ideal for holding the thicker cutters used in horizontal milling activity they do have severe limitations in relation to enabling the cutting face to reach areas of a component without fouling some other part. For some operations, a cutter of only 5mm diameter is required while on other occasions I would like to be able to machine a slot 0.5mm wide and 30mm deep.
