Bubbasan Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I wanted to show this new ( almost ) bo-hi cutter . It is custom made by a friend of mine . Has changeable cutter 1/4" made from carbide , You can buy cutter pieces anywhere . It works better than any japanese cutter (Sen) and you can easily change the tool cutters . It has guide that rests on Spine ( Mune) and will make fullers as straight as can be ..... What do you think ?....... James Ps you can also polish fuller with this , simply by altering shape of blade to a more rounded shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Olivo Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Nice idea. specialized though so not as universal as a sen with changeable blades. I may have to try and make one sometime. why the choice of handles inline? How do you keep it from tipping to one side or the other? How much pressure is needed to make it cut? Just me being curious. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbasan Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 These Blades are changeable , It is flat on bottom and has guide to keep it straight. I have made quite a few swords using this tool I have a Japanese sen and this is way superior. I decided on inline handle because of a comfort and ability to see what you are doing . The fellow who made it Lives in England and will make custom ones . This is not an add for business . Not much pressure at all is needed . I used to wear myself out using the japanese version.

Eddie Mullins Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Very neat tool. I've barely gotten my feet wet with knives so no swords in my near future, but was curious as to how you dress or round the terminations of the fullers?

VaughnT Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Very nice. I could see that being used to add lines to decorative ironwork, for collar stock or such. And being able to swap out the cutting head means you have a lot of flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Nice tool James, basically a guided holder for lathe bits. I love it when a tool user adapts tools, faster, better and easier. At first glance I started running the basic principle through my mind in other configurations. Sweet, thank you. I'm going to keep an eye on your posts for sure. I'm an accomplished idea sponge and you my friend are a fertile field. <grin> Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Welcome from the Ozark mountains. The OP hasn't logged on since November 20, 2015 so I doubt he will see this. You might try and send him a PM which he may get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
