As long as the taper attachment was set up for Brown and Sharpe #10, which is an oddity of
sorts as it has a taper all of its own, I decided to make a fly cutter. The cutter is made of some
cold rolled steel and made in two pieces and threaded together. The cutter was made with an
old scrap triangular carbide silver soldered on to a 3/4 chunk of square material. The cutter
will get touched up with a diamond hone before use for a nice finish.
Here's a couple photos of the holder with the triangular carbide installed:

As an added note, it was made to run clockwise so the two piece holder would tend
to tighten itself when used. It's a heavy piece and my guess is that it weighs in at 5 pounds.
