Abstract
A wood turning tool especially useful for roughing out operations. An angle grinder is mounted to a pair of parallel plates. The parallel plates are coupled together with a screw drive mechanism. The lower of the parallel plates has a perpendicular rod suitable for mating with the lathe banjo. A roughing out cutting operation is carried out by advancing the angle grinder fitted with a circular chain saw blade into the workpiece using the screw drive mechanism. Various texturing operations can be carried out using other cutters and wire brushes. The angle at which the cutting device addresses the workpiece can be adapted to various angles.
Claims43
A woodturning device for cutting a workpiece on a lathe, the lathe having a banjo, the woodturning device comprising:
- a motor driven rotary cutting device;
- mounting means for attaching the cutting device to the lathe's banjo;
- and
- advancing means for advancing the cutting device toward the workpiece.
A woodturning device for cutting a workpiece on a lathe, the lathe having a banjo, the woodturning device comprising:
- a motor driven rotary cutting device;
- a first plate attached to the cutting device;
- a second plate attached to the first plate, the first and second plate being oriented substantially parallel to each other;
- a rod extending substantially perpendicular to the second plate, the rod being suitably sized to mate with an aperture in the lathe's banjo for receiving a tool rest;
- and
- a threaded rod coupling the first and second plate in a manner such that when the rod is rotated, the first plate moves with respect to the second plate in a direction along a plane of the first plate, thus advancing the cutting device toward the workpiece.
A woodturning device for cutting a workpiece on a lathe, the lathe having a banjo, the woodturning device comprising:
- a motor driven rotary cutting device;
- a first plate attached to the cutting device;
- a second plate attached to the first plate, the first and second plate being oriented substantially parallel to each other;
- a rod extending substantially perpendicular to the second plate, the rod being suitably sized to mate with an aperture in the lathe's banjo for receiving a tool rest;
- and
- a screw drive mechanism coupling the first and second plates such that the relative position of the two plates can be adjusted by the screw drive mechanism.
A woodturning device for cutting a workpiece on a lathe, the lathe having a bed adapted to receive a banjo, the woodturning device comprising:
- a motor driven rotary cutting device;
- a rod connected to the motor driven rotary cutting device;
- a banjo having an aperture in an upper surface thereof suitable for receiving the rod;
- the banjo being coupled to a lock mechanism suitable for locking to the lathe bed;
- and
- the banjo further comprising advancing means for advancing the cutting device toward the workpiece.
