1. An assortment of QCTHs and holders for carbide inserts. Moreover, the QCTP holder for a large diameter insert toolholder for commercially produced was produced at the same time. The blank insertholderes are the spares for the future. |
 |
2. The tool holder for this insert is 20 mm square, too large for
direct mounting in the four-way tool post that came with my small lathe. To provide for mounting this tool, a dedicated QCTH was made. |
 |
3. Boring bars with inserts. Material is 45C carbon steel. The seats for the carbide inserts were formed on my CNC mill where copying is easy once programming data is available. (See #5 below.) |

4. Insert holders made from 45C carbon steel. |
 |
5. See Article Number 53 for additional information on the CNC system.
PLEASE SEE THE MOVIE OF THE INSERT TOOLHOLDER MAKING. |

6. A QCTH for 12 mm and 14 mm boring bars. A sleeve is used with
the smaller diameter. |
 |
7. Reaming 14 mm hole in QCTH for a neat fit of boring bar shank. |
 |
8. Cutting a 1.5 mm slit. This technique provides for clamping
the boring bar without marring the shank. |
