Shaper Tool Holder #2

For most tasks the original tool holder on my shaper works fine but for cutting keyways it is inadequate. In the first video I made the body of the tool holder and its retaining nut. In this video I solve the issue of how to restrain the clapper box with two case-hardened easy to install clamps. Most work in this video is carried out on my Adcock & Shipley milling machine.

Hello Clive. Your video ably demonstrates how a small square part can best be machined on a lathe when clamping becomes an issue. Furthermore using the lathe to cut the countersink was inspired. A very interesting project. Looking forward to seeing the completed tool holder in action. 👏👏👍😀

Thanks, Andrew, for your encouraging remarks.

Good to see traditional isometric drawing

[@Workshopfriend]

Thank you! Actually, it wasn't a formal isometric drawing - more of a sketch.

[@stevecallaghan3245]

great drawing as usual and I love the way you set the center of the cone before facing it. Very thoughtful

[@Workshopfriend]

Thanks, Steve, for your feedback!

Using two clamps is a very good idea. That will hold much better than a bolt in the side.

[@Workshopfriend]

Thanks Michel. I hope so. We will see!

[@EitriBrokkr]

The drawing is completely amazing

[@Workshopfriend]

Thank you for your feedback.

That should hold the Clapper nicely in place.
I had a Drummond circa 1927 hand operated shaper, didn't have to go to the gym after using that!

[@Workshopfriend]

Yes, I think it will. My first lathe was a Drummond rounded lathe. I can imagine the hand shaper provided good exercise!

great work. I made a tool for a similar purpose, but I just replaced the clapper box with a block that bolts on using the screw and bolt arrangement. Not as nice as your solution, but a lot simpler!

[@Workshopfriend]

Thanks for your feedback. I take your point about complication! For me it was a priority not to disturb the clapper box and the tapered pin which forms the fulcrum.

Looking good so far. 👍

[@Workshopfriend]

So far, so good, but not all is plain sailing - will see how it turns out!

[@HaxbyShed]

Nice build coming along.

[@Workshopfriend]

Thanks, Paul!
