Where can I get...#8-32 x 5/8 SLOTTED, FULL DOG POINT

Bob,

You posted a great picture of that on another thread a few months back. Might be nice to see that photo again right here.

Regards,
Terry

Here is the thread:

The photos were taken soon after setting it up, there are plenty more tools there now. Metric combination wrenches and the like are kept in a tool box behind where I stand at the lathe. That box holds tools that are used on the lathe and on the mill which is next to the lathe. I hate wasting time looking for tools, and even with trying to have them where I can find them fast, I still get ticked off at the time I spend getting another tool. So I try to keep all the commonly (and less commonly) used tools right at the machines.

I suppose this is a bit of a rabbit trail, but I was very impressed with your tool board. I copied your idea from that post using Unistrut/aluminum 2x2 angle for tool holders and made similar holders on my two lathes (three, counting the Jet P1024 look-alike that I just sold). A GREAT organizing idea and very easy to make.
