Abstract
A wood working tool for cutting flutes on a curved profile, used with a wood lathe. The wood working tool includes a vertical mast secured to a base. A cutting tool holder is attached to the mast and can be connected at different positions to adjust the usable height to accommodate different size lathes. The tool holder supports a cutting tool such as router. The tool holder also supports a depth control bar with a roller at a working end of the control bar. The control bar is positioned such that the roller is near a cutter of the cutting tool. The depth control bar can be adjusted to allow for the cutting tool to cut a surface at a variety of depths. Moving the wood working tool along the length of the turning with the depth control bar engaged allows for cutting of the flute.
Claims15
A wood working tool comprising:
- a base;
- a vertical mast secured to the base;
- a tool holder adjustably secured to the mast;
- wherein the tool holder defines a through bore perpendicular to the mast;
- and
- wherein the tool holder defines a depth control slot parallel to the through bore;
- a cutting tool supported by the tool holder, the cutting tool positioned within the through bore such that a cutting implement of the cutting tool extends from the tool holder;
- a depth control bar supported by the tool holder, the control bar positioned in the depth control slot such that a working end of the control bar is proximate the cutting implement;
- a first plurality of set screws, the set screws adapted to secure the cutting tool in the tool holder;
- and
- a second plurality of set screws, the set screws adapted to secure the depth control bar to the tool holder.
A wood working tool comprising:
- a base;
- a vertical mast secured to the base;
- a tool holder adjustably secured to the mast;
- a cutting tool supported by the tool holder, the cutting tool comprising a cutting implement;
- and
- a depth control bar supported by the tool holder;
- wherein a working end of the depth control bar is positioned proximate the cutting implement;
- the tool holder comprises a block, the block defining a through bore perpendicular to the mast;
- and
- wherein the cutting tool is supported in the through bore;
- and
- wherein the tool holder further defines a depth control slot parallel to the through bore, the depth control bar being supporteed in the depth control slot.
