Updates on the styrene cutter.

Some small updates on the styrene cutter, I got some set screws and installed them in the rod holders. I cut a piece of 6mm metal rod for the cutter and soon I'll attempt to shape the tip into a semi-blade with my Dremel tool.

EDIT: Collar stays have carried today as well as bushings. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to use the bushings. Considering I did such a janky job making a cutting bit it's pretty sharp I'm looking forward to my sharpening stone to make it even sharper. 

HDF base for styrene and set screws for the cutter inbound

Today I ordered some 1/4" 12x 19" HDF for the base of my styrene cutter from Etsy HDF is a high-density fiberboard similar to MDF, I also ordered an assortment of set screws.

Are you tired of your styrene cuts not being straight well check this out.

I did a search on YouTube on how to cut styrene and came across this video. I printed the parts and purchased some parts from eBay then assembled the styrene cutter in the video. I need to get some MDF or something to mount it to and get some plexiglass for a straightedge. It doesn't look too bad considering I had to source the hardware to put it together.

Its back Multiple Tie Tamper 09-16 Totetsu Kogyo Color (w/Motor) (Model Train)

This is an oldie but goodie from GreenMax with hit-and-misses on the running quality of the Multiple Tie Tamper but I want one really bad because of FOMO lol. Hopefully, GreenMax has retooled the mechanics on this one or it's bound to become a shelf queen to lots of people. 

I wanted to link to this page on JNS started in 2016 when I guess the first Tie Tamper was released by GreenMax it's a good reference source.
