Dear Viewers, here is my contribution to the RoughCut2022 video hashtag.
It's not a cutting tool but it will help you if you do use lathe cutting tools.
Enjoy!
In case you don't have access to a lot of machine tools, this tool height setter could be made from a 3D print quite easily. Even a wooden version would work. The key components are the two calibration set screws. Having adjustment built into the tool makes is reliable
For anyone who might want to make one of these tools, I am sharing the link to a PDF version of the 2D drawings, https://www.dropbox.com/s/obza2844i2p...
Some people have asked if I intend to make any of these for sale but the short answer is no. It would cease to be a hobby for me if I were churning out batches of small parts and the reality is that I would lose money on every one I sold.
