Could be a good savings at the sale price. They are selling a complete QC units for about half what the nearest competition is asking. I have ordered a couple of the holders to attempt a mod. I believe, by using a 1/4" tool, I will be able to go low enough and still have enough floor thickness. I will start a new thread if it appears that it is feasible. Joe |

Ha, nice one John, does it work :dremel: I have been wondering just how simple this coud be made? It's all well and good doing loads of fancy shapes and over complicated engineering etc. But what about just the tool as John has done, a flat plate with a bolt sticking out instead of the bottom ledge? The bolt head could also act as the keyway and if the threads are bruised on the plate the bolt could be adjusted. With no bottom ledge swarf wouldn't be an issues either, not that it seems to be anyway. |

Nowt wrong with that, John, judging by your result :thumbup:. It won't do LH threads, but speaking for myself, 95% or more of those I cut are RH. Being pedantic, there's positive rake on your tool, which will affect the thread angle, though only very slightly. Andy |

Andy --- End quote --- Why won't it do LH ? The tool started life as a paring tool and I accurately marked the angles out with my trusty felt pit and took the positive rake into account when i was following the felt tip lines. John s. |
