Good work, Buksie :thumbup:. Without taking anything away from this thread, (don't have anything close to Buksie's skill) I bought two tangential tool holders from Eccentric Engineering in Australia. The design was developed by Des Burke way back in 1985. They also use 1/4" cutting tips which fasten up very securely. All the guesswork has been taken out of sharpening the cutting tips, a very simple process using a normal work bench grinding wheel and the kit-supplied jig ... no more trying to grind different cutting angles, rakes and faces for me! I think they're great but check out their website of the same name (.com.au) - there are some really good videos and hopefully you'll be as impressed as I was. |

This is mine, works well. |

I like that clamping nut a lot! Very nice job on those tools. :thumbup: :clap: ps. there seems to be a ground surface on the face of the tool -- did you add that, as a guess, to provide a little more friction -- or is that how your lathe tools come from the supplier? |

The HSS is just as it comes but that particular piece is quite old. Another picture of the nut for info. |

Very well done. :bow: |
