Keyway slotting tool

[Greg Dix]

Here is a keyway slotting tool that I recently built to slot a keyway into a pulley. I had wanted one of these for quite some time, so now was the time to build it

Cool, Greg Dix. Looks like a solid build.

Cool, Greg Dix. Looks like a solid build.

Hi. Yes it is reasonably solid. It is built with what I had at hand. Thanks for the comment.

It looks like you've got a fine piece of tooling. Nice job on the slotter.

A nice pic Gregg. Could we have a few details of how it came about?

I like that, my next build. Would it pay to have some shorter bars to keep springing of the bar to a minimum?
