flip up toolholder for screwcutting

[wheeltapper]

Hi
I read all the posts about this gadget and always fancied making one but never did.
the latest issue of Model Engineers Workshop had an article about them so I decided to have a go.

the back

flipped up

I changed the back slightly to a bar that fits straight into my QCTP to cut down on overhang.

And blow me it really works

It's one thing to watch a video and quite another to watch your own one cutting then sliding back to the start.

bloody brilliant idea!

Good on ya' man, nicely done! :bow: Making tooling is my favorite part of machine work. The flip up threader is my next project now that my collet chuck is finished.

Looks like a great new addition to your tooling!!!

Do you have a link to the video you watched?
I would love to see one in action!
