First a system for parting 125 mm steel in a 9 inch Boxford and then a tangential holder.
The tangential holder uses sticks between 4 and 5 mm square of carbide or stellite.(Tantung)

Interesting tool cutter, got any more pics of the break down? Im interested to see how you have the tool bit held in there.

Paul, that's a Barrett M82A1 http://barrett.net/firearms/model82a1 My little .50 BMG baby. It's great for putting holes in things.

Glad you like 'em Jeff.

Re: Shop made tooling

Ron nice design, as was asked before have you drawn up the holder.
Here is my design after looking at your tool, but I'm worried about how much metal is in front of the leading tool edge if you get my drift.............
What did you allow,

Re: Shop made tooling

Here's a couple of tools I've made.
The first is a couple of dimple dies I made a while back, I've made a couple of bigger ones as well.



And here's a jig I made for my rotary table.
