Dushan, thanks, those cutters might be around my shop somewhere I’ll have to look for them. It may I just didn’t know what they were so I didn’t pair them together.

Good Day JP,

There is one item missing. It is a set of seven matching milling cutters, which are used to prepare pendant to accept the bow shaping it exactly opposite to the bow ends.

Suitable milling cutter is placed in the hole of the cranking handle, right into the hole in the middle of the cranking gear seen on the left hand side of the image shown above. Shanks of the milling cutters are split to provide driving them without slipping.

If You want I shall send You few images of the Bow Mill tool with pendant milling cutter mounted. The milling cutters come in a nice (and miniature) wooden box.

Cheers

Dushan

You’re quite welcome J.Peter. I’m happy to see you taking it for a test run already.
