Hi James, Nice tool blocks! How do you find scalloped nuts to use? I guess in this use it’s set & forget so not to bad. I tried the same idea on my lathe backstop but they are a bit hard on the hand.On the tool block, you could “pay ya bucks & see the water jet man” like I did! Fits very nicely with no touch up!Happy New Year!Cheers Kerrin
Nice tool holder. On a side note, how do you like that style of threading insert / tooling? I'm considering the same.
Hi Pete, Ummm errrrr will I didn’t measure the fit, just stuck it onto the main block & it locked up great!My eldest son had done the original drawing, which we had measured up from ONE block, of memory serves. I had the shape cut out of 6mm & it was close but didn’t fit. So this time I measured up all my holders averaged up the numbers drew it up. The guy cut one & got me to try it before he did the other 2. I’ll get my act together & post up what I built. As to measuring the fit I guess I could try using feeler gauges....would that work?James sorry to side track your thread!Cheers Kerrin
