really cant believe you dont have more subscribers great chanell thanks for sharing

Phew! Talk about serendipity. Glad I ordered that insert when I saw it! (CT) I've a piece of 3/16" CR I'll use even though it's 1" wide. Easy enough to narrow it up and then I think it was Rob Renzetti who recently showed some scrapers he milled a trough out along the length to gain more flex. Looking forward to the project!

Update: I now have a few inserts available. Get 'em while they last: goo.gl/6xE9xs

interesting... About a month or two ago I picked one up off of ebay from a guy with the same name... I was wandering if it was you :-) I guess it was you! Thanks, it's a great insert and I've been working on the exact same project with the same lapping plates for the reason of grinding a smaller radius.

Those diamond discs are smooth, however, the ones I bought weren't flat. I measured 3-6 thou axial wobble. They still work (very well for some things) but don't rely on them to produce a flat surface.

Isn't the indicator base hardened steel? I didn't think you could scrape that very easily. Certainly you would want a different angle on the edge than -5 deg, which is for soft cast iron.

Can you please indicate the sandvik coromant part number + order designation for this exact scraper blade? tHx!!

possible to get the fusion files for this scraper or dimensional drawings ?

I can think of at least one way I'd do that interrupted thread. First I'd use a small center drill and use coordinates to get the center hole in the tang end dead center in the material. Then use the tailstocks live center. But do think I'd probably epoxy two slabs of metal to the tang end, then turn all three pieces to your threads major diameter. Doing that ensures there's no interrupted thread while it's being single point threaded. There's enough backlash in the average lathes leadscrew that the interruption between cutting and non cutting portions without the added filler pieces on each side could slightly throw off the thread pitch. Then just use heat too remove the filler pieces. The thread could be cut with a die of course, but single point lathe cut threads are always superior, straighter and fit much better if your doing your job. It's more money but buying A2 air hardening tool steel in those sizes is easy to find. And with that you could harden and temper the scrapers threaded tang area for better durability over it's long term lifespan if you think that might be important. It also depends on just how well that surface gauge was made if you can scrape it flat or not. If it was properly hardened like it should have been then it might be better to send it out for surface grinding.

Great channel, very informative, and you can get out of jury duty if you call the number, hear your name and the info at the end of the list for the number to call, and tell them you're out of state with your son, looking at colleges, they'll either reschedule or take you off the list...just saying. Keep up the great job on your channel.

Good video, are you selling the handles as well?
