Ed on your first picture, move the two major diameters together so that they are abour 3/4" apart, then see if you can stuff picture two in there to make the cut! No you may not need to use that holder that often, but I find it is often enough that I keep it in a QCTP tool holder all the time, ready for action when needed.

Well I guess ignorance really is bliss. I have a couple of lefties and I use them. And I turn them every which way to Sunday if I need to in order to clear a path to use them. I guess if Jeff Foxworthy was a machinist, he would have a field day with me.

Ed, You might even try mounting it upside down and run the spindle in reverse???
Or, mount it in a rear toolpost on the cross slide.
It's starting to sound like a real worthwhile purchase.

Right back atcha.
RE: Latest UPS Delivery - f350ca - 01-18-2013
Used my left hand holder today to part the yoke off a driveshaft. Had the shaft in the headstock and needed to cut left to right up against a shoulder while removing the old weld. Don't think any other tool would have worked.
RE: Latest UPS Delivery - the penguin - 01-18-2013
I have 5 or 6 left hand tools, of various insert configurations, I don't use them often, but there are times when they are a lifesaver.
