Machining thin steel - making some Folding blades on a milling machine.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

That looked like a very cool project and it was interesting to see how you clamped a small bit of stock

Thanks that's very interesting. Wonder how I would do that job? My Harrison mill head does not tip back. Could do it on the shaper in one setup up to 10 inch long. Or of course I could lift the front edge of the blade with the mill head vertical (thinking out loud really). Cheers

I can imagine a shaper working well on things like this.

What is a folding blade? Never heard that term before.

These are for a paper bag making machine. They are fixed to a rotating drum, creasing & folding the paper as it feeds through.
