I made this little cutter to make the spindle gasket for my Hardinge
TM, which is finally going back together. It uses No. 11 X-acto blades. I may add a dowel for the slot in the blade, but maybe not. It worked fine on a cutter mat. The pivot is a hand ground point on a set screw locked by a second set screw. http://metalworking.com/dropbox/GasketCutter.txt http://metalworking.com/dropbox/GasketCutter01.JPG http://metalworking.com/dropbox/GasketCutter02.JPG Pete Keillor |

I am curious about something however, why did you choose such a large chunk of iron to hold such a small blade? And would not a tapered center point be much easier to spot correctly? -- Roger Shoaf About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then they come up with this striped stuff. |

And would not a tapered center point be much easier to spot correctly? I think that a small part of it is tapered, but again you are benefiting from the large surface area of the holder preventing tipping and gouging of the gasket material.

That was my reasoning, DoN, which worked well in practice. To Roger's point, I did find that on the second cut, relocating the center was a pain. However, it was easily solved in about 1 second by picking up the cut disc, setting it on the pivot with the cutter held upside down, then flipping the whole thing back over on the cutting mat. Other than the blade pin, the only other thing I might do is cut the rod down to a reasonable length. 8" would probably be plenty for anything I might encounter. Pete Keillor |

Very nice. Print it and email me the drawings so I can build one too!! Pretty Pretty Please!!!! Gunner, Hardinge specialist. 'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.' Theodore Ro osevelt 1907 |
