  • OMG, I had to make a radiused cut on the end of an aluminum screwdriver handle I was making for shop class waaaayyyyy back in junior high school, and we had nothing like this. I had to manipulate the X and Y coordinates directly to get a reasonable curve, what a pain in the ass! I wish I still had that screwdriver, but I think I lost it years ago during a move. :( Or an ex-roommate stole it.

  • i do aprecciate your video and time you invest to share with us

    thank you . grettings from Queretaro mx

  • This is absolutely perfect for what I do!!! Why didn't you patent this?! I'm going to have to make one now! I woulda bought it from a store for probably more than $60 if you'd have patented it! Good job man!! Did you use steel or aluminium?

  • good idea!

  • impressive.

  • If this has already been invented, well that's great, but where can I get a tool like this out in the market. You've done a great job domonstrating this. Do you you have a patent or at least a provisional on this tool?

  • ok great we can make a radius. now apply that to something you make to bring home the bread and butter (and beer). I know its just to show us what you do but why do you need to do this on your lathe?

  • I've heard of these holders before but hadn't seen one work until now. It's very impressive to me, that you made it with your own bench top lathe and mini mill. The craftsmanship and design are excellent and have to be in order to function as well as it does without chatter. Thank you for sharing.

  • very nice concept..like a manuel cnc....very cool

  • i can see its use which in my opinion would be quite limited. and i can't see how it would be useful for most standard jobs. which that would mean swapping the tools over and the compound. though i think what you have done it pretty cool and very nice, i think if you integrated it into a standard turning tool so it could be locked easily when you rotate it and have accurate markings of degrees of cant it would be fantastic

  • I work in a machine shop in Holland, this is not a new idea, we got the same toolpost and it is at least 30 years old.

  • vert cool!

  • what brand lathe 

  • nice tool. i may have to make one the next time i have to machine a ball. which might be soon. (bolt handle for a rifle.) anyway does the metal above the slot for the tool flex when you torque it down. it looks a little thin?

  • That tool would be perfect for me to turn stand-off posts for my tattoo machines I build! Would make it alot easier than using a drill press!

  • Comment removed

  • very nice tool. i need to turn some ball joints for a project, and this would be perfect.

  • i have seen them for sale look harder dude. This guy has some skill nice one mate i think its awsome. I carnt get my breath some stuff that is done on these mini lathes stuns me.

  • Very sweet but where can I get one! I have looked allover the net and nothing, nada, nix!

  • I think it's an advertisement for a tool that the video poster made, which is awesome by the way!!

  • I made my own and now I get asked for at least two a week.... LOL

  • That's a great tool for the lathe I'm very impressed.

  • neat!
