GrindingToolBits. Advanced Tool Sharpening. Many people create HSS lathe tools using nothing more than a bench grinder and get perfectly acceptable, if not downright excellent, results. For most normal sized projects with moderate tolerances that may be all you'll ever need. As tolerances get tighter, or improved surface finishes are required for decreasing part sizes, better tools are needed. You can't shave tenths and simultaneously get a great finish with a dull tool. My goal is to show you some practical techniques that can quickly be applied to improve the edge quality of your tools. It should be mentioned that my focus is exclusively on generating extremely sharp edges and you can't blindly apply that type of tooling to every situation. So when do you need these tools? When there's a need to control size at the tenth level or below. The exact details of what happens when we "cut" metal is also outside the scope of this page, but the reader is encouraged to do some additional research.

Contemporary Artist Kevin Caron Uses a Beverly Shear to Cut Sheet Metal - Kevin Caron. The Voice: Hey, Kevin. What are you doing?

Kevin Caron: I'm cutting a small curve on this piece of stainless steel with my Beverly shear. It's for a contemporary art sculpture I'm working on here in the studio. The Voice: Whoa! What's a Beverly? Do you have another woman in your life? Kevin Caron: No, just you, Voice. This is a Beverly shear, a metal cutting tool. What makes this tool better than my bench shear, or my plate shear, is this throat. Look on the Beverly shear; it doesn't have that so the Beverly can cut curves in either direction - left or right. Look at the blade. The best thing about this shear is that it allows you to do curves. As long as I'm working with a lighter gauge of steel, I can use the Beverly and cut my little curves. The Voice: So, you can get rid of that other shear? Kevin Caron: Oh, no! Eventually I'll find a good place to mount this, where I've got room behind it and room to each side of it; I'll bolt it down and get it off the edge of the workbench.

9310 Garvey Ave. S. El Monte, CA 91733 (626) 444-0311 The earliest Bridgeports were the famous "round arm" machines. This describes the top overarm which was a long round casting which the head was mounted to. Along with the different sizes, "chrome ways" were introduced. The first Bridgeports were equipped with grease fittings as a means of lubricating the ways. The early power feeds on a Bridgeport were large heavy gear boxes that had to be manually shifted for every feed rate. Specifications of Today's Bridgeport. Palmgren Tools.
