Do you have any dimensional plans for the key way cutter?

[Captainleeward]

Hi Augercreek, No I made it so long ago. but check out Isimura on the builders front page number 7 on the list he has one
I think that is where I got the plans.

How is the cutter used? Pushing or pulling the tool bit through the bore? Where do I find Isimura? On this site or where?

Old age and senility are at play here! Mind can't connect with eye balls I guess! Or could it be being not computer literate?

I think that capainleeward is referring to Ishimura's Keyway Slotter tool.

His original post, containing building instructions, can be found here: SLOTTER

Nicely machined keyway cutter capainleeward. This would be perfect for soft metals.
