I do like the look of the little Viking 2.5cc Diesel. Per I hope you realise I will now have to go and have a look through my model aero engine casting sets for something equally nice
Lesson learned : Do not try to figure out why things are going wrong while cutting !!!HIT the stop button immediately !!!! – this might have prevented the marks on the crank web and almost certainly prevented the embarrassing marks on Niels tool – I now owe him a new one + you have plenty of time to contemplate after the lathe is shut down ….Oh well – you can only gain experience by making mistakes – first one on the list .
Well I'm almost sorry for you Jo .... but then again, you might need to do something other than making three times the number of parts for an engine
Glad You find toolholder usable and do not worry about replacement.It was a gift.Breed is improving all the time and I keep the best myself.For the job shown You will be better of with a 2 times 2 almost square tool with a nose radius of .1mm.
