First Steps in Toolmaking: Grinding HSS Bars ⚒️
Just took my first dive into toolmaking by grinding some HSS bars! 🛠️ Cut them, shaped them, and now my lathe’s getting a taste of DIY tools. Not perfect yet, but it’s a blast to see them in action. Onward to sharper edges! Curious? Check it out at thebitcoinwatchmaker.com.
Diving into toolmaking, I tried my hand at cutting and grinding HSS bars to make lathe tools, shaping them with a 45° angle. 🛠️ While there's still room for improvement, testing them on the lathe was super rewarding. It’s early days, but crafting my own tools is a fun and satisfying journey. 😊
First Steps in Toolmaking: Grinding HSS Bars ⚒️
Today I ventured into a new territory: sectioning and grinding HSS bars. I cut them to size and shaped them with a 45° angle—my first attempt at making lathe tools! 🛠️
After that, we ran some tests on the lathe to see how they performed. Still a lot to refine, but it’s incredibly satisfying to start using tools I shaped myself.
Onward to sharper edges and cleaner cuts!
I'm still experimenting and not an expert — just learning and having fun 😊
