I decided to switch to production mode to make a bunch of blanks for toolholders. This way, each tooling setup only has to be done once.
First step is to drill holes to remove some of the waste in the dovetails.
Next, the blanks are gang-milled to remove metal beside the dovetails.
All five blanks ready to turn into specific toolholders. The short one in the middle will become a swing-up threading tool.
