Qctp holders

I have already picked up some steel from the scrapyard and bought a dovetail cutter....now I just need the time.
This working every day thing is for CHUMPS!

@Hukshawn,
I have found some with "not terrible" shipping in Canada, but better prices by quantity than singles:

I cannot personally recommend them, since I have not tried them......but those links have been sitting in my ebay list for a while......
(they do show a drawing with dimensions in the listings, so be sure they fit your post!)

Please let us know which way you go and how it works out for you.

Unless you're a journeyman machinist, make your own tool holders. You will learn and it's rewarding.
Unless you have other more important projects, I guess it makes sense to buy them.
For me personally, making tools like this are my projects. If I bought everything I'd have nothing to do.

That's accusize. They're an hour from me. My whole qctp is from them, I have 7 or 8 tool holders. But come on, you always need more. The only complaint I have is the set screws. Cheap crap. I will change them one day, for now, I haven't stripped out the Allen hole yet.

My shock here was with the idea of an aluminum tool holder. Just seems, wrong...lol

In a way, yes, if you can find some 7075 grade aluminum, probably in plate, it would make excellent tool holders. Just use the tool holders for those cutting tools not used often and it should last a lifetime. If you do wear one out, toss it and make some more.

Pull the set screws, toss in the trash, and replace with socket head cap screws. May have to turn the heads down for those that fit too close to each other. Also face them off a little and you brave enough, cut a half dog point on them. Now you have a heavy duty set screw!
 
I like it!
I'd say something along the lines of 'ill add it to the project list', but man, it a mile long.
