1/2 inch tool holder for sherline lathe

Just tried and it said I did not have permission to view.
 
Nice work but I'm curious as to why you didn't just use a drill to start and then bore it straight and to size.
 
For two reasons, 316 is hard to machine, and intermittent cuts are hard on everything, tending to break my tools; and that I'm going to use this for a 50 cal airgun in a future project. Besides, I enjoy making tools and parts about the same amount. So this was both to drill a hole, and to test the practicality of drilling a barrel on my sherline.

Okay, thanks. I get the part about enjoying the making of tools, trust me.
