This method was used in my Pipemaking class for milling out slots for
the keys although I now use a router in the tool post for my own work.

Subject: [NSP] Pipemaking query
Hi everyone,
Im Bob, an amateur pipemaker from Scotland. I wondered if I
was allowed to ask pipemaking questions on this list? I first tried
to
make nsp about twenty years ago. The drones and reeds came out ok
But I
have never managed to successfully make a chanter as cutting the key
slots is always disastrous. I recently bought a myford metal lathe
for
reamer making for "other" pipes and was thinking about a flex drive
system mounted in the cross slide for slot cutting. How do you do
yours
and is my idea workable?
Thanks ( and apologies if questions of this type are not allowed)
Bob Salter
