[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 635295, member: 25383"] whatkind of tool holders have you in mind? Never seem to have enough boring bar holders Have you seen the setup that uses collets in it that are kinda like the ones used in a collet head on a lathe? Nice thing about that one is that it will pretty much fit any size boring bar up to about 1.25". Then Alourus sells them that use a set of rings with different I.D.'s, but still locks the bar down with several set screws. The thread cutting tool they sell that uses the high speed bit that can be reground is better than any carbide insert I've ever used (except for for the Acme stuff). Plus you can buy that cutter seperately, and the actual holder is pretty simple. I've also used a square block deal that that uses the same Hardingh Brothers collets as they use in a lathe, but clamped in a mill vise. Worked so well that I built a six sided block and an eight sided block to use in a vise. gary [/QUOTE]
