Just finished another project and thought I would share. I made a boring bar holder for my Craftsman 101.21200 (618) lathe, so now I can use 1/2", 5/8" or 3/4" boring bars. I modeled it after an old Armstrong holder.

Beautiful machining work there!

Is there any special reason why you have so many circular cutouts for a single boring bar tool holder?

Oh, never mind!...I just noticed that they are for different sizes of bars.

I do need my glasses! :lmao:

Nice work, i must make one of these. i made an adapter a while ago to do away with the top slide ( it can be in the way at times) the 4 way tool post is mounted on top, i can then mount this tool and have a good rigid set up,:allgood:
 
That looks really nice. I am impressed. Did you think about making it out of hex bar to make squaring it easier?
