Machining a BETTER Parting Tool Holder Pt1

Support My Work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HERSCHToolRoomShow more

In this week's project I'll begin the process of machining a quick change cutoff tool holder.
This tool holder is designed to be more versatile and rigid than the standard cutoff tool holder you'll find with most "aloris" style quick change tool posts.
The increased rigidity helps to make parting operations much easier to perform.
All of the work for this project will be done on the milling machine.
I will demonstrate the "Joe Pie" method to quickly and easily square up stock while taking your part to major dimensions all in the same process.
Then, I will show how to measure a dovetail to achieve a nice fit before machining the dovetail feature.
I'll also have a bit of a crash, and we'll talk about why that happened and how it could have been prevented.
Please leave a comment if you have any questions, ideas, criticisms, or concerns.
