It seems that Freeby Berger was an American and was making his toolholders before the Australian version.

I like the versions on this website,

Ifanger (swiaa) and Komet (German/swedish?/Usa?)) have been makin that sorts of tools pretty long.

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.

SwarfnStuff:
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.

The Australian inventor of the tangential tool holder was a gentleman called Des Burke from Melbourne. Borriss
