Where else can I check? Or are these cutters also called something else?Ĭlick to expand.Just about any city has Machine tool suppliers. Nothing at Busy Bee, nothing at Accusize. I am surprised that I cannot find anyone else that sells these. I might be able to narrow the shaft of the cutter to allow the slightly deeper cut (I'm sure that'll void the warranty!!) and I think I could probably make that work. Unfortunately, the t-cutter only extends 4 mm (0.157") (18mm cutting diameter, 10 mm shaft). The only place I've found selling T-slot cutters is Amazon (shipped direct from China). I received a very nice reply saying they no longer make the part, but supplied a copy of the original manufacturing drawing (see attached). I contacted Clausing to ask if they still made the part (M6-303). This T-slot is in the Slide, Compound Rest Tool Post of my Atlas 618 lathe. The Tee slot itself should therefore be 0.406" wider than the neck (meaning the T-cutter needs to be able to cut a slot 0.203" deep. The throat is 0.750" wide by 0.187" deep (the top of the Tee is 0.187" below the uppersurface). The slot I'm hoping to duplicate has a "TEE" section 1.156" wide (the bottom of the "T") by 0.218" deep. If it has been discussed, please point me in the right direction. I did a search here and it came back with zero results.
