Tool holders

[Moper361]

Been busy trying to finish of my fathers 80th birthday gift and yes he is in his Eighties now and still making chips

The retaining cap screw in the pictures you can see is an eccentric so you slide the hss into the holder and then just a light turn on the eccentric and it locks the hss bit nice and solidly then there is a nut on the back side and once snugged up it pulls the the hss bit into the holder also stopping any movements sideways .

There is clearance on the cap screw head and won't interfier with face cutting at all and even a bit of room to make it a bit thinner if need be

You made the tool holders or just the cam screw? The cam screw is a neat idea

I'll hit 80 in six weeks, can you get mine done by the end of January?

Just kidding, but a print with dimensions, would be nice. I can probably carve one out to fit my (expected) PM 1022 Lathe.

I am sorry Bredehoft I could only do a rough sketch to give you ideas ,Most of my builds I usually wing it and go with what my gut feeling and mind tells me ,All I have at the moment is a cardboard template for the cutting out of the basic tool holder shape .I will try and draw it up by hand best I can that will give you the basics

That would be great, Private Message me when it's satisfactory to you.

Does the cam lock when turned counter clockwise so as to tighten when in use?
