Hi
Lads

I have been that busy with vids I keep forgetting to post pictures:ouch::ouch:
I have recently been given some lathe tools

They need machining to fit my tool holders


The pictures are "grabbed" frames from a hd video


I was also given a 6 inch mag chuck


I had a back plate to modify




All this can be seen on this sundays video

Used to turn em down when had an ML7 without QR.
Ok if decent tools like Kennametal, Ceratizit, Iscar and Horne but wouldn't risk it with the cheap imports.

I now use the 250-200 series and only have one holder untouched milled out of 23. Biggest tool in is a 1" RH still ample unless taking 1" off, majority are 20mm high including threading, easy on.
Don't think theres much height difference between the 250-100 and 250-200 series.

Arbalist:
They had half a dozen Harrison M300's where I used to work which they bought a batch of new tools for. The new tools fitted all of the lathes fine except one which must have had a slightly different tool post. They couldn't touch the tools with a standard milling cutter so I took it home and trimmed an eighth of an inch off for them on my mill with a carbide bit. Very tough stuff. If I remember correctly they were Sandvik Coromant tool holders.

Hi
Lads
Did a bit more with the chuck back plate
Made some "pointy studs" to transfer the hole pattern


A gentle tap with a soft hammer

:yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes:

The marks have been transferred with no maths at all :smile::smile:


Lined up with the super accurate eye ball and pointy wiggler
