Making lathe QC tool post tool holder without dovetail tool?

One post, 4 entries, AGAIN! This is not happening anywhere besides H-M.
 
Looks like a B&S Micromaster. If so, an excellent machine!


Yep! Its a B&S 618 Micromaster. I know very little about it, but I feel like it'll be a really fun addition to the shop!
 
Making a holder for an indicator is very simple.......................indmount.jpg

This is made form 1" square tubing with the dovetail cut in with a bandsaw.
 
I cut dovetails in tool holders all the time. I’m attaching 2 of my videos that may help. If you want you can just get the inexpensive HSS ones I used that before I got one of Randy’s cutters. If you plan to cut a lot of dovetails they are the best value. He isn’t that expensive on the cutters.

Here is the videos
