BXA toolholder for 5C collets

[dave2176]

Finally got to put it to use. That's a 7* mill in a 3/4 collet. Held secuely with no chatter during cutting. Much better than using a drill chuck.

Fine job ! Its a wonderful feeling and gives you a great sense of pride when building a
useful functional piece of tooling.

Hello there DAVE
Better late than........
Firstly, thanks for taking the time to post these pics of a great project.
Yours would have cost +- US $200, if purchased, whilst we convert at 10.75 times !!! So really a worthwhile endeavour.
U make it look so much easier and possible for us novices.
And a good challenge for an exciting project. We have the Collets and Mill holders too. However, this is the cherry on the cake for our lathe work !!!
As U showed, we want to do exactly the same, hopefully,IA
Once again, Kudos to U for an excellent showing and we will definitely get cracking on ours, LORD WILLING.
Kindest regards
aRM
