Retractable tool holder for lathe - Episode 1

[Norppu]

Retractable tool holders are made in a number of videos.
In my opinion, most of them have flaws or are only intended for making threads.
In many of them, the rigidity of the tool is based on tight fits.
In my design I have tried to avoid tight fits or adjustments.
I have also tried to make this easy to use.

The video is spoken in English but it has good quality hand written subtitles in English, German and Finnish.

The first part of the video is a bit creepy.

Definitely different, but other than the bass voice being a little hard for me to understand I found it pretty entertaining. Really like the tool design, and more importantly, I now know what Santa does in the shop during the off season. Mike

That's pretty clever. I look forward to seeing it come to life.
