Hi Michel, That was good of you to give a shout out for Tom in his time of need. I went and watched his video and then forgot to come back here and comment on yours.
Michel, when you dropped the drill bit describing it in the technical terms, you sound as though you are going from a amateur diy channel to a professional channel. Good onya
Grim news about Tom's fire, I hadn't seen that, I've been working flat out on a video so I'm out of touch. This bring back memories of Cliff's disaster. Most of my flammable chemicals are in an outside container but I don't have automatic extinguishers. I turn off the power when I'm not in the shop, but now I'm thinking about those automatic overhead powder extinguishers. I've sent Tom a contribution
Parting for me ha# always been such “sweet sorrow” until I fitted a rear tool post on my Myford Super 7 lathe. The increased rigidity and upward force has made the whole process less scary. BUT it does remain scary. Well done on finding your own solution. 👏👏👍😀
Thanks for sharing your practical approach with materials to hand. Good result! You dispelled my suspicion that two 6mm/.25" studs were going to be sufficient in the main body!
Michel, great design and it works better than expected! It appears that the forces of cutting are placed on the rear flat way, thus giving a chatterless cut. Great stuff!
Great result Michel. That works really well. I made a similar thing with a block of steel about 50x60 mm and 150 mm high and I have tee slots in my cross slide top as I have a milling attachment on my lathe so I used two long rods threaded into tee nuts and two nuts to clamp it down. I cut a 12.7 mm (1/2") slot for a square HHS tool bit ground to the required width for the parting blade. That works really well for me too. It's good to use old scrap steel when you can see the tool hiding inside that lump of metal lol.
Thx for including Tom's tragic miss hap. I just posted a video for Tom and the family as well. I use to have that same issue when I owned a SB 9c. But now that I replaced it with the LeBlond 17,,,,(@@) No longer a Problem. I am trying to wrap up loose ends here so I can make his first scheduled clean up week or day. Cheers, and have a Super week end in the shop, Bear.
Another very enjoyable video. My Saturday night treat! Many thanks. BTW I never saw before a toolpost/crosslide bouncing like yours did in the video. When I want to extend drills I always use an extension rod the same dia as the drill. Then I turn down the end of the drill a bit and drill the extension rod to suit. Fix the drill in the hole with Loctite. Brazing or welding won't work because the HSS drill gets hardened and you can't temper it.
A good machinist can find a way.
Thanks Michel. Another great video about another great addition to the workshop 👍 🇬🇧

Very good of you mentioning Tom. That seem to solve that problem. Nicely done Michel.

Nice one Michel. Works like a charm. No more primitive hacksawing!

Nice work! Enjoyed watching, thanks for your time Rusti!

Ventilation. Now why didn’t I think of that. You always have the best ideas 😊. Gilles

Thanks for showing how to do a groove. I’ll have to grind a cutter and give it a try.
Where there is a will there is a way. Nice project Michel. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Michel, I donated as soon as I saw Tom’s video. Too few good RUclips content producers to not help out one in need! Thanks for your shout-out to him!

G’day Michel. Thanks for supporting Tom. He’s a great guy and true gentleman. Nice work on the rear tool post build mate. It works a treat too 👍🍻

I saw Hilltop’s video. Absolute shame. I’m just glad he made it out. Luckily, he will heal and material can be replaced.
