Found an old Armstrong catalog on the vintagemachinery.org website. It lists the No 19 parting tool holder and gives the blade size as 3/32 x 1/2. The catalog even had a part number for the blade. But then goes on to say the actual blade is smaller than the listed size.
Would it be a bad idea to carefully grind the bottom edge of a 3/32 x 1/2 blade to fit?
I like this No. 19 parting tool holder because the blade is held straight with the holder instead of being held off at an angle. I think that it would be significantly more ridged than the angled holders.
