Swinging Thread tool
Boucher:
I think Vertical threading tools originated with Tool Flo, a Houston, Texas company supplying tooling to the Oil industry.

They have a sales network of dealers and will not sell to individuals. They did refer me to another Houston company that has been convenient for me. They have next day ground service and good prices. ENCO also sells the vertical threading tools.

The oil industry use lots of odd thread configurations on drilling tools and tubing. You may also have a dealer near you.

Thanks, Boucher.
Having thought on it, the vertical one is too big for my needs, so I've gone with a 10mm horizontal one from the Chronos Ebay shop (out of stock on their ordinary web site :scratch: ).
Bogstandard:
Please read this post before attempting to make one of this design.

Not only has it no side force limiter other than the big washer on the pivot bolt, also, the pivot point looks to be in the incorrect position. It seems that my post about the development of it was totally ignored, or the information just didn't sink in.

I actually went with this version myself:

Which is stated as "very much based on the construction sketch given by "Bogstandard" in his concluding remarks."
John Hill:
I guess I get a big "FAIL' on my effort. ::) It is just a single cheap index tool holder with a hole drilled in the end for a single bolt pivot. It only has side thrust support on one side but it seems to work well. :scratch:
