The Armstrong tool holders are 3/4" to 7/8" for small lathes you can mill down to fit a Aloris AXA 1/2" tool bit holder. Now you can adjust the Armstrong tool holders and not need the American tool

Aloris use to make a holder for threading back 1970's. But most use carbide today or just sharpen HSS tool bits. Dave

Re: Armstrong threading tool (was "[LL] Lantern toolpost dimensions")
An excellent tool, I have had and used one since 1967. You might want to make a QC fixture to support the cutting tool in your QC toolpost. You can make your own form tools to work the same way! Bill

Re: Ball bearing life why so short?

Re: Ball bearing life why so short?

Re: Ball bearing life why so short?
