SteveT:
Looks a well made bit of kit well done

GRIFFIN:
Yeah Jonny, Got a couple more feet of 2 x 2 square bar ready to make more holders but the six I have will do until I get into the new year. Got a bit of a backlog of work to get through at the minute.

I like the round centre post clamping type QCTP and almost chose that kind of design for mine James & Bill, but wasn't sure they'd be heavy duty enough for my WM520 lathe.

Cheers, Griff.

GBru:
Nice bit of machining you've done there Griffin!
I am curious to know, what the ball bearing rod is used for in 1 of your holders?

GRIFFIN:
Hi G

It's for truing up your work on the lathe in a three jaw chuck before fully tightening the jaws.

Got the idea from John on you tube Sunday night night cap, I think he's double boost on this forum. Find him on you tube and you'll see how simple and clever it is to use.

I just turned the ends of some round mild steel bar down and fixed the bearings in place with lock tight, after milling a flat in order to clamp it into the tool holder.

I'll post a photo as soon as I get chance to get the camera out.

Cheers, Griff.
