I have an adjustable boring tool for the mill and with that I got a set of 12 12mm boring bars with round shafts. These seem to be very good quality and it seems a shame to get so little use from them. I decided to make a boring tool holder for the lathe.
Used Ali as I have some in the BOX

Some Milling and a bit of Slitting and drilling and tapping later I had one of these.
The main hole was drilled and reamed with the reamer in the collet chuck in the lathe.

Hmmm.....Great idea...might have to pinch that one..I have a set of carbide tipped boring bars for my boring head ( sounds boring that dont it... :doh: ) that dont get much use....but using them in the lathe would increase that using your holder design...
Lateral thinking wins yet again....
Thanks Gerhard

Thanks Steve
This is not my idea I found this one in a book by George Thomas book. But it is handy and easy to make.
