It was always easier to index that way compared to trying to stab a pin in a hole.  Glad you are using that method.

Mike OK

Thanks Bill.

Its all part of the learning. Having a fine control on the template follower is really nice. But with out a limit stop it become to easy to cut beyond the proper depth of cut, and it bit me. My problem was two fold, one the template is bigger then it should be for the small bone blanks I am working. and the second is there has to be a safety to make sure I cant cut to deep. I have three more blanks made up.  My hope is tomorrow to be able to work them properly, and make something nice. ;-)

Bye to way. On the fluting, I use Mike Pung's gear/crank handle indexing method. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHgzEKnON-o&t=15s <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHgzEKnON-o&t=15s>
Great way to get the job done.   As always Thanks Mike!
And thanks Bill for the kind words.

Hello Everyone.

Day 2 of my long weekend.

The learning curve should not have happened, But it did.

In the Bad ending photos you can see I cut to deep into the bone.

I forgot a little thing like to set my limit stop onto the Legacy before starting to cut

the bone, with out the stop set, there was no way to control the minimum depth of cut, and I cut

into the brass tube due to this fact.

On the learning curve photos, I did set the stops, but I did not want to trust the stop 100%, So I opted to by-pass the thin areas and flute only the thicker parts. (I like the look of the three segments.)

I have some more bone blanks that I have glued up, But for today, I think I am  done. ;-)

Have a Great day everyone.

C.A.G.
