It seems that Freeby Berger was an American and was making his toolholders before the Australian version. I like the versions on this website, http://www.twoofthem.org/richardsshop/RichardsShop/Freeby.html |

Ifanger (swiaa) and Komet (German/swedish?/Usa?)) have been makin that sorts of tools pretty long. https://www.ifanger.com/system-ifanger-86.html Could not find the picure of Comet tool, but style lokeed like 1940s. I don't know who made the first and where, but I have seen that type of tools on pretty old books and some still pop out on ebay etc. |

Ah well, I did say, "as far as I know" before the bit about the tool development by an Australian. So I stand corrected. Whoever was first it is still a great tool for ease of grinding and use but there often comes a time where we might need to grind our own tool to suit a particular job. Something I have yet to get anywhere proficient at. John B |
