Kevin Kenny Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share #858 Posted June 3, 2023 Harbor Freight 4” saw blade. I forgot to say i purchased a 4” saw blade with a 1/2” arbor for the Jim Byrnes saw and it works great. Its a bit noisy but i can now make 7/8th cuts when making bulk stock. It is a bit noisy but works great. At $5.00 how can you go wrong. In the past i used my Proxxon to do this work but it would struggle when making large amounts of stock.

Kevin Kenny Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share #861 Posted June 14, 2023 Working on making the moldings. Having a hard time with the scale.

AON Posted June 14, 2023 Share #862 Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) A couple guys in the MSON use old hacksaw blades to make their scrapers. Heat it with a torch to cherry red and fast quench in water to anneal it and then file the teeth away and cut molding shapes into them.

Kevin Kenny Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share #863 Posted June 14, 2023 I am doing all that Alan, its the scale that is giving me the challenge. Also on the Mill its difficult to see the depth of the cuts. Ive made some 10 scrapers so far but not happy with the results. Today i am going to see of i can hook up one of my cameras and blow it up on a monitor to get a better feel for the depth of cut. My Turbo carver is small enough to cut the curved surfaces on the hacksaw blades but my smallest files are useless. mtaylor and billocrates 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AON Posted June 14, 2023 Share #864 Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) I didn't recognize the piece to have been a hacksaw blade. Seemed much deeper than what I use but is probably just camera and scale. Toni Levine had made a wonderful presentation on making and using scrapers at a MMS or NRMMS Club meeting. I'll check my files to see if I have anything useful from my screen captures. I believe she used a hand held dremel and metal cutting disc. Get back to you in a couple hours.

You could look into getting a set from Artesania Latina and on there site they call them Micro Shapers and comes in 3 sets, A,B,C. I have all three and get good result's when using them. At least look in to them and may save you from pulling out your hair.

tlevine Posted June 14, 2023 Share #867 Posted June 14, 2023 Kevin, it is much easier to use a Dremel than the lathe. I think your biggest problem is the disc. It is much too thick. Greg Herbert told me about these; their original use was in a dental lab. They are brittle, so wear glasses when you are using them. I can typically get three molding from each disc. billocrates, mtaylor, AON and 1 other 4 Quote Toni Chairman Nautical Research Guild Member Nautical Research and Model Society Member Midwest Model Shipwrights Current Builds: NRG Rigging Project Completed Builds: Longboat - 1:48 scale HMS Atalanta-1775 - 1:48 scale Half Hull Planking Project Capstan Project Swallow 1779 - 1:48 scale Echo Cross Section Gallery: Hannah - 1:36 scale.

druxey Posted June 14, 2023 Share #868 Posted June 14, 2023 That's a sledge hammer for a finishing nail!

Anthony Hearne Posted June 17, 2023 Share #870 Posted June 17, 2023 i use these at work , theyre very thin but woven like carbon so they don't break very easily, they are quite expensive though, but outlast the thin separating disks by a lot Pacific™ Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Cutoff Discs | Stuller AON and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
