I received a piece of 6061 aluminum in the mail and my wife is working
today ... guess where I've been ?
So far I have the hole for the collet sleeve machined and the bottom
side counter bored for the sleeve nut that will retain it . That was
done on the lathe with the chunk clamped to a face plate , and worked
out great . I'll be getting the vice set up on the mill to machine the
flat surfaces next .
I was going to take a ride on the Harley tomorrow , but yesterday's
4+ inches of rain has washed out the road ... and with all the rain it's
too wet to plow so I can't work in the garden ... so I guess I'll spend
tomorrow out in the shop too !

How big of a piece of metal do you need? Seems like a lot of work to
make it out of 6061. This from a guy who burns through 6061 all day
long in his day.

I got what I need ... I learned a lot the first time around , this one
is going quite smoothly . The Chunk started out as a 1 1/2 x 3 x 6 inch
piece . It now has a 1.5" hole in one end , and by this time tomorrow it
will bear little resemblance to the the original piece .

Good luck. I hope it closely resembles an end mill sharpening fixture. Since
it's aluminum it won't be a good excuse to buy a surface grinder.

I was thinking this is a real tool makers tool. I don't know if I would
put in that much work to make it out of aluminum.

This part is not stressed enough to warrant making it from steel ...
the parts that need to be , such as the collet holder and associated
bits are steel .
