Re: Swing up tool holder? #MISC #LATHES #MODS


 

John, you could put the .pdf in the files here in digitalhobbyist files also. I do want them and if you do not mind
I could post them to the mini lathe group. I have not been banned yet.

Would love to have a copy of your pdf in the files section of the MiniLathes group ( /g/Mini-Lathes/ ) - we are building out a good library of plans there.

Hello Marc
I have read your post and can initially provide photos of both external and internal swinging tool holders
that I made several years ago.
I am currently writing an article for Home Shop machinist how I constructed this tooling.
Basically it?s a common tool holder and 2 x different blocks that slide into the QCTP Quick change tool holder.
The blocks are fitted with roller bearings and toolholders swing on a pivot pin entering these bearings.
As other projects have got in the way recently, I admit my written article has not got to far along.
In the meantime attaching some photos to give you some ideas of my tooling.
As a footnote, this tooling worked very well, in the past, but with the current use of the RELS with auto threading and auto retract of the tool,
this tooling has now for me become redundant.
If i can help you further let me know, I do have drawings available I can send in pdf format if needed.
