This one's been a long time coming. I'm finally taking care of my lack of quick chance tool post holders and more than doubling my collection. I think it will be a while before I have to re-mount a tool!

Enjoy!

PATREON - Making an ARMY of Tool Holders || INHERITANCE MACHINING

Welcome back to the manual machine shop! This video I’ll be expanding my collection of tool holders for my Aloris style CXA quick change tool post on my metal lathe. Constantly having to mount different tools in the holders is the opposite of “quick” so I’m excited to finally fix this problem. I’ll make the bodies from annealed 4140 steel and I’ll be getting into surface grinding, then dovetail cutting and power tapping on the vertical milling machine. And as you’ll see, this requires a fair amount of precision setup and on the fly problem solving. I’ll then move over to the manual lathe to knock out the hardware which involves knurling and threading the knobs. Then metric threading the height adjustment studs. All in all I’m excited for the functionality these additional holders will bring me for future projects.

Loved the video. I cool video idea would be integrating lathe tooling basics into a project. Lathe is my weakest area, and I'm not sure how to differentiate the different cutters. Keep up the good work!

David W

Really nice end result considering this is from a big piece of truck-ejected steel :P I agree on the bare finish, looks great.

Sandra Carroll

Very Nice, Have you ever looked at a clear anodizing? just wondering

Tom Detka

Nope your right the anodize process will dissolve steel. A handy if not expensive idea to keep in mind if you break a tap in something aluminum and expensive.

Tom Detka

Since it looks like you have some extra steel from this project you should make a carriage drilling holder. Just make another holder but put a 3/4" or 1" hole and then use a straight shank adapter for a drill chuck. That way you can use the carriage and more importantly the DRO to drill holes to a precise depth.

Sandra Carroll

Than was something I was not aware of. I mostly work in aluminum is probably why

Inheritance Machining

That's a great project idea! But it turns out I already have both a straight shank holder and a morse taper holder for the tool post. Maybe a proper grinding attachment is in order though

Tom Detka

Ya that would be a good one and I see a side project immediately. Way covers to keep grinding dust off the precision bed surfaces.

Super excited to see your next project, I know you have a machinists level but like you said, it can be a bit big at times. It would be a great project for you to learn on and for us to watch!

Thanks! I don't have an immediate need for one, but those old Starretts sure look cool. Might be good to make it before I need it honestly
