Do you know if the Tormach fly cutter toolholder would work in a non-Tormach fly cutter body?
That'd be really great if you would measure the angle. Buying the Superfly is about $230 CDN vs just the tool holder for about $110 CDNDave, after thinking about it, I responded without thinking things through. It may be possible to modify your current flycutter to accept the Superfly tool holder IF the body of your flycutter is not hardened. You may be able to modify the width and angle of the tool holder slot to accept the Superfly tool holder so that the insert works at the correct angle. If you wish to do this, I can measure the angle of the Superfly fly cutter body for you so you can give it a shot. Let me know.
That's a tremendous help, thanks very much, As always I really appreciate it!Okay, I measured the angle with a Starrett vernier protractor and got a 20 degree angle from the horizontal plane or 70 degrees from the vertical plane, depending on how you prefer to orient the angle.

The tool holder itself is 0.3890" square and the slot is 0.4065" wide.
Hope this helps, Dave.
