It's easier to shim between the tool & the toolpost; if you
rubberband the shims to the tool, they're ready to go when you change
tools. Feeler gauges are annoying to use because they're hardened;
they're destructive to shop scissors! Most any thin metal will work;
the hobby shop K&S shim assortment, "tin" can stock, beer can stock,
heavy-duty Al foil, etc..

I know I should know this but ... My tools are hitting below the
center of a workpiece and I need move the tool higher. I assume I
shim the tool holder around the toolpost but with what? Is there a
specific shim stock or should I just buy the same shims I used to
shim the lathe?
Thank you
