[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very interesting as I don’t know much about these bits. Nice work mister.

[@machinists-shortcuts]

Me neither lol.

[@jirvin4505]

Great demo. Looking forward to the m3 version

[@machinists-shortcuts]

Thanks maybe in a couple of weeks. Sneak peek - I will be unveiling a unique very low profile angle setting tool to use under a part in a milling vise first. Stay tuned.

I may add a set screw to the one I bought years ago that I told you about to lock the float. Although it’s no big deal to remove a tool or collet with a power draw bar.

[@machinists-shortcuts]

Good idea to add a locking screw, I wrongly assumed the holder was hardened. On Bridgeport type machines the fastest way is probably to use a keyless chuck.

Which blank R8 shank did you order to mount the GT12 in?

Here is a link to eBay for the item I used. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373746107335
