Wanted: FIMS/Doall #2 tool holders

[Mandmj]

I’m looking for the above tool holders. All types considered or needed. Thank you.

I make these in my shop for the #2 if you're interested

 

[Mandmj]

Got any pictures? How much?

 

[4ssss]

Depends on what you want. A basic turning tool is $35, $45 for a combo turn/bore, and cut off/radius/knurling tools are $75 and up

Are these mild steel I presume?
I’m thinking to start with a couple of regular tool holders and I may need more later. How do we arrange payment,etc?
Thanks

I make these out of Blanchard ground steel. There's nothing to wear out on them, so they last. The originals I have are just a mild case hardened steel. I would spend the extra $10 for the combo tool holder, as it has a "V" cut into it for a round boring bar, and it will take up to a 1/2" round or square. I find boring in a lathe is just as common as turning. It's the tool at the top in the 1st pic, but that's up to you. I have a Paypal, (sszoldra@comcast.net) but send it friends and family so I don't have to pay the fees. Or you can send me a check. My address is

Thank you

Ok, i'll take one of the regular and one of the combo.
Just to make sure I've got it right, that'll be $80 via paypal friend/family, correct?
Also, before I send the funds, what is the lead time on them?

My address is:

That is correct. I'll start making them probably Thursday after payment. Thank you.

OK, I'll get the metal tomorrow. Thank you.
