Making insert holders for my lathe

well today was interesting, I got to fix a tool so i could finish my tool holders.
the clamp on my universal grinding fixture cracked and i had to make a new one before i could continue.
tomorrow i'll start back on the tool holders.
see my new hogging cutter i got tuesday. see my vise jaw where i forgot to read what i typed into the cnc and forgot a decimal point. .750" is not the same as 750" and sent my new cutter screaming into my vise. I'm an idiot some times. i can resharpen the mill but the jaw I stoned flat and will leave as a reminder this machine does what it is told not what i mean. lol

Ouch! That's a serious hogging tool you've got there though, what diameter is it?

it is metric, about 2-1/4". I'm going to see if the local carbide tool manufacture will fix it. he says he only regrinds carbide and this is cobalt but i'll ask anyway. if not i'm sure i can regrind it. i'd like to get to talk to the guy at the carbide place anyway to see if he sells regrinds. the last time i could not get past the secretarys.

nice holders steve. looking forward to hearing how they perform.
 
I got the set of tool holders done today they turned out pretty nice.
I think i'm going to case harden them with charcoal and bone if i can catch the dog
just kidding... only charcoal

they work good but I use them on my 11x26 lathe. they are a bit large for my 9x20 cnc lathe.
