Well guys, a local machinist gave me this tool bit holder. However, it don't fit my four place tool post. I do have a few bits that do fit it.
The next two pics you can kind of see how much needs to come off the top and bottom.
Not sure how well that toolholder is going to work with that tool post. That toolholder is intended for a "lantern" toolpost. Another option to machining the toolholder would be to make a lantern toolholder, they are pretty straightforward.
If the holder is designed for carbide tools it will work if it's for hss tools it holds the tool at an angle, so sliding the tool bit in and out of the holder will change center height. Just might be something you'll have to deal with. Most of those tool holders I modified were hardened and tough to cut.
