Guys, I have a few carbide shank boring bars. I'd rather not secure them in a qctp holder via set screws right down on the bars. I have two qctp holders of a different type that I can use to hold my bars. The first is the type with a "V" in the bottom. Now I would still use a slit bushing to hold the carbide bar in this type: View media item 96558
The second type of holder is this one. The hole diameter is 1-3/16". It would be one heck of a slit bushing for my smallest 5/32" bar to fit it into this holder. Would a slit bushing even work in this scenario?

I figure I could use the "V" type holder for the smaller bars in slit bushings and the larger bars in the other holder with slit bushings. Thoughts or recommendations appreciated.
