Cutoff Operations CAN be EASY

Support My Work and Download Shop Drawings on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HERSCHToolRoom

For this week's project we will be finishing up the DIY shop made parting tool holder for the aloris style BXA quick change tool post.
This is a more robust, versatile, and rigid cutoff tool holder that is meant to be an improved replacement for the typical parting tool holder that comes with most aloris style tool posts.
All of the work will be done on the milling machine and will include milling, drilling, and using the dovetail cutter.
I will also briefly demonstrate the use of sub datums on the DRO as a means to keep track of multiple different features, allowing you to revisit those features as many times as you need to perform a series of separate operations on the same feature.
As always, thank you for watching and if you have any questions, criticisms, ideas, etc. please leave a comment below!
