 There is also a similar commercial design - [url=http://www.krfcompany.com/ ---http://www.krfcompany.com/[/url] but I don't think it includes a tangential tool holder.

They are pretty expensive.   Looks like $38 to $43 per tool holder.   I can get holders for my BXA type QCTP for $9 each.

Looks like shop made is the way to go.

Thanks B85V and RussellT!  :beer:

Started roughing out the last toolholder. I milled slots in the block and brazed in some upright pieces. Soaked the arm stock in dilute muriatic acid to get the mill scale off before working them further. But they fit in place nicely.

I'm sure you can guess what this one will be!

Hi Vtsteam;
As for the depth of cut have a look here, http://www.eccentricengineering.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=22&Itemid=42 Hopefully this will take you to his demo of the 8mm tool for mini lathes. He states that the lathe used is as it came out of the box. Prices are not cheap but his stuff is good. I am way pleased with the Crobalt tool blanks.

I Agree with Black85vete that the tool grind after your new jig now look much better.
Awemawson: The company in Australia is eccentric engineering.  As in the link above.

That's that's the chapie ! So my grey cells haven't all died yet  :bugeye:

Hi SwarfnStuff thanks again for all your info. My concern re. depth of cut has more to do with the holding screw on this one. It seems to slip, and that was mentioned also re. interrupted cuts in the article I linked earlier, whose design geometry i adopted. I added a washer, and we'll see how well it does.

Thanks for replying, all!  :beer:
