It's my own design. No plans though I just milled it as I went along. You just need to tip the bit 12° to the left and 12° forward for it to cut well. Few more pics in case it helps.

As I've commented previously in another thread. I really do admire the design of that tool,it's boss :clap: :clap:
Does anyone else like the look of Arbalist's tool? :) :)......OZ.
Arbalist:
It's very big for my little 8 x 14 Lathe! :D

YEP! I do OZ,
I recall the first time I saw them I was sure they were bought ones and said so they were so good. I have the bought one for my 7 x 12 and the resemblance is uncanny. A great job by Arbalist, who by the way put me right with the same explanation as he posted here. i.e. Made and sand blasted by him.

Hi Arbalist,
That really is a nice piece of tooling, do you use another setup tool, to get the desired tool tip profile.
I like making tools more than the job itself...
