Holder for sharpening turning tools and milling cutters

Builder: Alberto Beggio
Metal holder with several levels and levers on a green surface. Looks like a precision instrument or part of a machine tool.

The project

To sharpen turning tools and milling cutters with a grinding machine, a corresponding holder was produced with the SIEG SX3L milling machine.

Material / tool used

Step 1

Dovetail guide

First, a dovetail guide was milled.

Metal block with dovetail guide is held by one hand. Four drill holes can be seen on one side. A golden ring is visible on the finger.
Step 2

Making a collet chuck

The next step was to make a collet chuck so that individual milling cutters could be clamped later.

A silver, cylindrical collet with slots lies in a black gloved hand.
Step 3

Finalising the attachment for the milling cutter

A locking ring and a bush were then produced. With the help of this and the self-made collet chuck, milling cutters can be attached to the holder. Four- or two-edged tools can also be reground using a locking mechanism.

Step 4

Finished holder

Both turning tools and milling cutters can be mounted on the finished holder to make it easier to machine them with a grinding machine.

Exciting projects for you

Die holder with PM5000

As no die holder was available for the "Akon holder" for taps in MK3, this was made for the taps.

About the project

Stirling engine "Big Laura"

The kit for the motor from the functional modelling sector comes from the company "Bengs Modellbau" and requires a high degree of precision during manufacture.
