Lathemaster Also sold a tool post like that. HF doesn't sale extra's . And lathemaster is no more. Not what you wanted to hear, I know.

Thanks for helping identify it!!

Interesting that it's a HF toolpost. It's better quality than i would have expected from HF. it can be a pain to get holders in and out, and clamping requires tools, but it's rigid and holds tools accurately.

But, doesn't look like i can buy replacement toolholders. Hmmm.

You might be in luck. Part #015 is like the holder in your pic. part #019 is the 1/2" boring bar holder.
