Parting tool holder

[Paolo]

I was really annoyed about cutting on late...so yesterday decided to buy a blade and inserts from my "metal pusher"...and....I had to build a new tool post...so after two afternoon working time this is the results..I did it without drawing..so a little imprecision are done..but it works very well!!!

Dove tail are two ...one for the tool post and the second for the blade..

Assembled....

The ancillaries and the 6mm tapped holes..

Ready to cut....

Nice Paolo!

Sorry for the silly question...but how does the bit stay in the slot?

Gravity? Nah Zee, I suspect it locks in with a taper.

Carbide parting inserts typically have shallow V grooves top and bottom which mate with the holder. The 'mouth' of the holder provides clamping force on the insert, it needs to be sprung open a little to get the insert in and out.

Hi zeeprogrammer
the answer correct is..."Carbide parting inserts typically have shallow V grooves top and bottom which mate with the holder. The 'mouth' of the holder provides clamping force on the insert, it needs to be sprung open a little to get the insert in and out"...and its really works...
Dave..you catch ed the subliminal message...Yes I'm working on it...it's a very hard work..but!!!!

Just for maintaining the currency I did another tool holder..a taper insert tool holder...
