Thanks Guys, I think that'll fill my needs for that smaller QCTP which I'll probably reserve for the smaller HSS toolsbits.

I'd like to have a go at making holders for my other larger QCTP but that is a much more complicated affair. I'll need jigs and the dividing head mounted on the shaper. It might be more than I can chew just yet so we'll have to wait and see.
One thing for sure is that only the shaper could make these, the mill would be a "dead duck" as they say :)

I tried that once too ... that's why I wasn't going to have another go on the miller :lol:

You can be rest assured that no delicate (expensive) milling cutters were harmed during this production and the wild population count has been unaffected :lol:

Some time ago I priced up a dovetail cutter for the mill and seeing how easily they are ruined I have to say I sharn't be going there. Not for steel anyways.
