1" Tool Holders Carbide insert Tooling

I grind them to 3/4" and grind the slot in a bxa holder to hold that. Surface grinder....saves mill tooling
 
Yeah that would work if I had a surface grinder.
 
Got it done. Dovetail came out very nice. I used an old carbide endmill I had and pretty much destroyed it I think. Then took a few light passes with a new carbide rougher then milled the dovetails with my home made cutter that uses a carbide insert. I was a little surprised at how well it cut. The insert loosened up once but no damage was done. I may have gone just a hair to deep in the depth but it fits really nice. Now if i could get the pin out of the other holder to try it out.thumbnail_IMG_20170518_212242032.jpg

Yeah, That's kind of an obsolete holder now days.
You have to be very careful what you buy out there. Especially one's that have heavily damaged seats that don't support the shim or insert. And also ones that used semi obsolete inserts. Sometimes, you can get a lifetime supply of inserts for almost nothing, provided you find a holder, or make a holder for.
