Great stuff Jon. I think anyone using a medium/large lathe for smaller work could benefit from this idea. I've added it to my neverending todo list (you probably know the one.. 7 new items added, for every 1 item completed...). Mine's a sliding wedge style holder (aloris copy), with the boring bar tool block already made. I'd previously considered it a bit useless, because it's a very specific size. But making up a set of the adapter bars will be a great way to make use of it. Thanks for the idea.

Good one . I need to make a heap of the same holders one day . Did you think of putting a dowel perpendicular through the bore of the holder . It locates the small boring tools with a bevel cut on the ends to automatically set the centre orientation . Great job . 👍

Hi Jon, nice work! Did something similar on my smaller QCTH. I had a 20mm bar so made the block to take that, had the QCTH end water cut, made life easy! I then made up bar holders for 6 to 16mm bars, Joe Pie posted a video on the idea, freed up several tool holders for other things! Thinking I may be able to work it up to take a slotting tool as a bolt in/on addition….. Cheers Kerrin

Very interesting Jon, when I made my T2 holders I set the angle of the head the same as you I was also reluctant as I had the vertical position spot on, I managed to pick up a T2 Dixon holder that takes an MT2 taper for drilling via the Carrage, not tried it yet, but have some more mild steel so think I’ll give your boring bar holder a go, would be interested to know where you purchased the micro boring bars from, nice one mr Jon

@Jon's Workshop I'm a number of years in front of you. We are looking to downsize now. Finding somewhere with either a suitably sized workshop or with space for one is proving difficult. They do exist, but the house hasn't met with the much better half's approval. My other problem is that I have the luxury of 3 phase, I put in 30 years ago. We'll keep on looking.

Great machining again Jon. That will be a useful tool for those small diameters. No problem moving the milling head as long as it is easy to tram in again. How long does that take to do?

Hi John, thanks for the comment and feedback. Tramming the head on these Chinese Mills is no fun, they are mega top heavy and unbalanced so every time you tighten the nuts, everything moves, it's a good 20 to 30 mins job which is why I generally avoid it if possible. Cheers, Jon
