Diamond tool holder

I should add that I can take much deeper cuts with my South Bend lathe using these than I can with a conventional holder. The only negative is the cost.
 
This tool certainly does look impressive, doesn't it? Easy to grind, bits are cheap to buy and it seems to work well. Can't see a reason not to try it. I haven't seen one user who has a negative impression on these, Dave.
 
It‘s geometry is copied from a Warner & Swasey box cutter. I still have a gage tool for hand grinding the tool bits.
 
Otherwise known as a tangential lathe tool
There's several on our site also.
ToT or Joe Pie or Tom Lipton or <someone> had a video on this, which of course I can't seem to find now.
Yet another item on my 'wanna-do' list.
IIRC from the video(s) I watched, the DOC is impressive.
 
It’s certainly an interesting bit of kit.
That only bit that I can’t figure is how your grind a chip breaker in the top of the bit.
