I have a picture of that tool holder and blade in my 1980
Machinex 5 accessory catalog.? It is part of the Machinex 5 tool
system designed by American Edelstaal for the Machinex 5 lathe.?
My lathe came with the complete tool set including left and right
tool holders, boring bar, inserts and wrenches.? It was made to
fit the adjustable tool post on the compound rest of the Machinex
5 lathe.

Does anyone have some input on the erstwhile Edelstaal
"cutting tool/slotting tool"? I found it in the Campbell Tools
Co catalog for March 1983, entitled "Lathe accessories &
Attachments" which is also in the files section (
here),
also see screen shot below.

I would think that I have something similar, not complete -
just a number of cutoff "knives" and a tool holder, this one
coming from Komet.
?
The knives measure circa 108 x 9,5 x 2,7mm, with the profile
not square but set at an 80 degrees angle along the long side.
The Komet tool holder has the same angle, so that the knife
can be securely held in the toolholder.
?
But there is nothing to mount this tool holder on the cross
slide. How was this done - knowing that the knife set in the
tool holder is not at the same height as the center.
So I guess some additional mounting device would be needed.?
Does anyone have experience with these tool holders?? ?
