Another Spring Tool Holder

[Hawkeye]

As it happens, I've been using it a fair bit in the last couple of weeks. Mostly with a convex or concave form tool. Same tool - opposite function on each end. It seems to do a pretty good job when it's fed lightly for the finish cut.

I wouldn't compare it with other tooling like the tangential. It comes in handy when a cutter digging in could cause problems. The spring tool tends to release it's bite when it bends down under load. Two ways to look at it. It gives you a tool that serves a purpose. It's also a good project if you need something to make.
