Lathe Tool
Storage
|
|
|
Using the lathe more often...added an extension...this really increased the footprint of the lathe on the P66 outfeed table. In particular, I found I was having issues getting
lathe tools and measurement tools into safe places. |
 |
|
This quick project was a holder for
the three Easy Wood turning tools that I use...I shortened
the tubes that came with my tools...I played with size
of hole and spacing...the tubes were 2 inch OD.
|
 |
|
Burned up some shop cut-offs...used an old thick slab
of cherry, oddly shaped ...jointed an
edge...then cut at bandsaw to rough square... |
 |
|
planed to square... |
 |
|
The holes were bored with FAMAG Bormax 2.0 bit, the largest one in my set (2 1/8"). Big bit, but running at the right speed and work piece was well held...did great in both the stopped holes in cherry and the through holes in oak. RPM oak = 250; cherry = 330 |
 |
|
The lower cherry block and upper
oak block were secured to a piece of yellow
pine.
Shortened tubes freely float in the
rack, no adhesive in holes.
|
 |
| Kaizen foam pieces were put in the bottom of the tube to protect the carbide cutters. |  |
| A piece of Crubber was put in the
v-parting tool tube to protect the Kaizen foam. |
 |
| Chamfered edges...either at
router table or plane. |
 |
| Then I played around with storage
ideas for a few measurement tools...calipers, square and
rule...laid them out with Kaizen foam... |
 |
| Made the French fit cut outs and
added some trim to hold the foam in place. |
 |
| Finished project. |
