Edit: If only we had a McMaster-Carr outlet in the UK .

Try here Michael:- MSC Industrial supplies

Thanks for that …

Are they the same products ?

… and does MSC handle the whole of the magnificent McMaster-Carr catalog (sic) ?

I will be absolutely delighted if they do !!

But would you see a 0.2mm radius on the tool in that photo? that's what radius I have on my brass tool

Perhaps ‘round nose’ is open to interpretation [two nations separated by a common language ?]

but it looks, to me, like a truncated triangle …which may well have rounded rather than sharp corners.

… Frankly, I’m past caring

More rounded when use das a L/H tool than a right but as it's only a 5/32" tool it was probably rounded with a couple of licks of a slip stone

 

As I mentioned they seem to cut OK, bit larger dia at the end which was probably the unsupported end deflecting away from the tool and I expect the Dremel ones are possibly not as dense or hard as better ones.

Really ?

I found the full picture on p100 and assumed they were 1/4”

… the shank looks to be soft, and there’s an obvious bruise from the clamping screw [which, being Sherline, I presume to be 10-32]

Does it work now Steve?

Looks like they are 3/16" from this, thought I saw 5/32" mentioned elsewhere. Also mentions the HSS used.

[Ron LadenParticipant @ronladen17547]

Yes the video works OK Jason.

Really sorry to labour this, Jason, but :

(a) Your video shows successful cutting with what appears to be an insert … does it have zero top-rake ?

and (b) Your referenced document also mentions 1/4” blanks, so I’m really none-the-wiser about what our hero was actually using.

1. As I said it cuts OK with "my usual brass tool"

2. It also says that the tool on the right of the photo is 3/16" and this is the same tool that is in the enlarged extract of the photo I posted yesterday which is same width as the rounded one.

But for any doubters here it is again being cut with an 3/16" square HSS tool, definately rounded and with zero or possibly even slight negative top take, As I said in previous post the felt deflects where the steel shank does not go right to the end and tears out a bit at the end of the cut but the section inbetween looks usable. Chris's biggest problem will be finding something mounted on a shank that is less than his desired 3/32" dia.

And here is why I use an insert on brass, it saves having that shower of small chips go all over the place and also saves having to keep another set of tools just for brass when the insert will also Aluminium and bronze.

Many thanks for taking the trouble to do that, Jason

I am not so much a ‘doubter’ as a ‘seeker of clarity’ … so the closer we can get to the conditions that Chris quoted, the happier I will be.
