16° Tangential Tool Holder

[the artfull-codger]

I wanted on of these a lot of years ago they were advertised in ''model engineer'' but couldn't afford one, they were made in australia,I forgot all about them then a few years ago I got hold of some american magazines [machinists workshop, a good read too!!] & saw them advertised by a firm called bay-com enterprises so I sent for one, myford size [being a little more affluent now!!] it came but the fecin customs stiffed me up for 20 odd quid the ba**ards, & the post office even charged me for wrapping it back up,well a couple of years ago I wanted a larger one for the colchester so I bought it from australia & got it delivered to my daughters house in perth & picked it up when on a visit there, I absolutely love them, cheapo 1/4" sq hss bits from autojumbles & dead easy to sharpen I wouldn't be without mine.[dangerous on brass though] it dragged mine in,should have known better too much top rake.
