Frazing Bits

[Tsunami]

Does anyone know where you can get frazing bits? I am screwing around with an idea to make a frazing bit from 3/8 steel plate. Sort of like a reverse padle bit that I can chuck up in the tool post on the lathe. Any ideas?

I've seen frazing machines so I presume somebody makes bits for them, but I couldn't track down any sources. They must machine the bits for the machine itself.

I found this searching the site here but it is not a Fraising bit per say. The main problem I am seeing with making one is that you are locked in to one shape / size per bit. I will mess around a bit and see if it works or I put an eye out! lol

most frazing machines are hand made as I have inquired on in the past. So it would make sense that the cutting tools are as well Bob Clark

Most machinists would just take an m2 hss rectangular tool bit blank and grind a curved edge with a relief angle. since it is not spinning, it does not have to be concentric.
