A while ago I had a job requiring several dovetails to be cut in some lathe tool holders I was making. The material was 4140 pre hardened steel. Rather than buying a cutter I decided to make one and while I was at it I also made a chamfering cutter to break all the corners on the tool holders. They worked out great. I also engraved the carbide insert cutter number on the shanks for future reference. The cutters were hardened and shanks ground.
