Hi Guys,
A couple more pictures !
This picture shows the other side of the tool holder. With the cap screw that is used to clamp the tool block to the tool post.
In this picture you can see how the height adjustment screw bears on the top of the top slide face.
I keep meaning to make a brass washer to go under there. I did put a brass tip in the end of the screw so that it doesn't scratch the the top slide.
This is the drawing for the split collet ! NOTE that the diameter is shown as 12 mm, that is wrong it should be 14 mm or 9/16". The drawing needs altering.
Lastly the drawing for the tool post. You will have to alter the post length and hole diameter to suit your lathe.
I wanted to be able to use 1/2" square lathe tools.
The tool post worked so well that I made a rear one and I am able to interchange the tool block as needed. I also made a spare tool block to support a 12 mm diameter boring bar or threading bar. Both using carbide inserts.
