When my son was taking high school machine shop he needed a challenging project, so I got him to make me a 1/2 inch cutter for my Stanley #77. With all the complex machining on it he aced the course. And I had a new cutter :)

I keep coming back to your channel for the sheer joy you’re having with all these special tools. And then I stay here for a while watching all the tips ‘n tricks you have to spare with us. Entertaining as always. And so I’m a fan here for years now and still enjoying! Keeping up the works James!

I bought one with12 cutters in their cardboard boxes 30 years ago and paid 85$ for it. My wife wasn’t too pleased. I told her not to worry. I sold it with cutters at a Patina auction for 475, she didn’t question any of my tool purchases again

Now all you need is a vintage tool that turns round dowels into square stock and you'll be all set!
-
That's the best tool I never needed that I've ever seen. 😂
-
I have one of these with a 1/2" and a 5/8" cutter. I got it years ago on the cheap. You're right about the cutter prices - $250-$300 each! I can't justify spending another $3000-$4000 to complete the set.

As you get older you get so much out of the simple things the world has to offer. My latest was the angle on a set of ladder shelves. O JOY O JOY . KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING WE ENJOY THEM ALL

Looks like somone would reproduce these machines. Few people want to make anything of quality any more. The guy who sent you the left hand thread is nice; we need more people in this world who will help others just because they want to. I have a Lee Valley dowel maker, and a dowel plate that can make short dowels though they won't be straight, but a little crooked makes them better for pegs.
-
I have a friend who has one of these in mint condition along with all the cutters. It is a hoot to watch it in operation.
-
he’s so giggly! thanks for sharing this awesome tool with us.
-
I have a new old stock one, with 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4" cutters in their box... Gift from my old boss, whose father worked in the Stanley factory in Canada... Got a brand new 55 too... I don't dare use them...
-
The maniacal laughter is both disturbing and entertaining!
-
I’ve always just clamped a washer down and smacked a close size square or octagonal ish rod of wood through the hole. It works!
-
Never heard of this tool. Looks like something I might need. A quick ebay search brought up a few complete, some with several cutters with bids from $250 to over $1200.
-
Stick some feeler gauges into the gap, get the thickness, sharpen the cutter, and put it back with the same spacer. Making one off screws like this is my biggest drive to get a small metal lathe.
-
Really cool you were able to Frankenstein that thing back to life to make the most expensive dowel on earth! ❤😂 love it!
-
I love how much you love this completely unnecessary but very neat contraption.
-
You were about as excited about that 77 as you were when you received that Roubo book 😁
-
I've got one of these. They are fun. Trace the shape of the cutter edge on some pine or whatever else you want to use. Glue/tape varying grits of sandpaper on the block. Sharpen as you would any curved cutter. You might need a sharpening rod for the bottom of the curve of the cutter (that little pocket can be hard to get). Getting the angle when sharpening the cutter is like sharpening any gouge. You just have to work at it.
-
I was shocked how expensive these were on EBay & most without cutters. Great video, I never have seen one of these!
