Want a beautiful finish on any steel? Try the vertical shear tool in HSS as described exactly on the Gadget Builder website. Nothing better, easy for taking a half thou cut. I have one for the shaper and the lathe. Who needs surface or cylindrical grinders? They are that good. And check the swarf out!

Thread: 'average model engineer'

Not being into models, steam or trains, but well into my various manual olde world machine tools, and making things on them , either for motorcycles or more tooling, i have never liked the British term "model engineer" for the meaning of a "bloke in his shed with a lathe". I have always preferred the American term "home shop machinist".

Never used the mill and rotating cutters for graduated lines. As per GH Thomas et al, i only use the shaper (mostly) and the lathe (rarely) for all my graduated work.

$6.95 in the States. Crawford 327 / Boxford / Harding 3C are all the same dimensions and readily available in round and hex. Sq can be difficult to obtain, especially in imp. Don't ask me how i know.
