If you go to Bruces tomorrow I will show you.
Scott carbid is very brittle you are right. You would not believe some of the ridiculous stuff I have done with tool bits over the years. Most of the tool holders at work are crap and have been ground away so I am used to using that kind of set up out of nesessity. That was my first holder I made in a rush one night the next one will be made better and little more support. It was made basicly to see if it would work and now I am too lazy to make another one since it seems good enough. You know how that goes. I guess I am like the car mechanic who drives the crappiest looking car. Hates working on his own vehicle and as long as it works who cares. Send me a few inserts. BTW have you had a chance to look for that address for the ball thingy's yet. Don't mean to be a pest just a reminder. Thanks Paul
