Wanted: PIMO tenon tool
All,
Haven't been around for prolly about a year (new job/town/house/baby), but I'm starting to reassemble my shop. I'm still an extremely rank amateur..
Anyway, I'm looking to buy a used PIMO tool. Anybody have one they're looking to offload?

I have the tenon cutter from JH Lowe that I am trying to sell. See one like it at http://jhlowe.com/machine_parts.htm
Let me know if you have any interest and we can talk price. I have also listed the cutter on this forum.

I wouldn't have posted this for fear of boogering up a sale for a fellow pipe maker, but it looks like you've decided against LexKY's cutter based on budget. Have you thought about using Delrin for your tenons? Kurt posted an excellent guide on the process. I use Delrin for premade stems as well as my hand made ones. I buy Delrin from http://www.onlinemetals.com Just a thought.

Re: Wanted: PIMO tenon tool
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner, hope I'm not too late! I have a PIMO tool I'd gladly part with! Have the instructions, the hex keys for adjustment and 2 drill bits to drill the stem for the guide pin.PipeAndPint wrote: Anyway, I'm looking to buy a used PIMO tool.

If you are still needing one, send me a pm!

Michael,
I do not have a lathe for my own shop. However, my father has a Grizzly metal lathe at his place, ~10 minutes from where I live. So I do have access to it anytime I wish.
That said, I've not yet used it for pipe making. Typically I drill on a press and then use a disc sander to do my shaping. Replacing these with use of the lathe is something I look to do in the future, though.
cheers,
Jeremiah
