  • If you just want to see the holders, just go the the last minute.
    These are some custom tool holders that I came up with for the compound slide on my Sherline lathe, .375" turning tools and .125" to .375" Boring bars (using bushings). The video demonstrates single pointing an internal .750-16UNF thread using an inverted tool post.
    This was my first experience using the change gears on the Sherline Lathe, so it is something that I should get better at. The change gears allow you to cut nearly any thread that you could want, including Metric and left hand. I had bored a few tapers to see how the inverted tool post performed. It did well and the test tapers were on Ductile Cast Iron and 1018 Steel.
    The stock compound is designed to use inverted .250" turning tools and be used on the back side of the cross slide. The compound itself is very smooth and the fit and finish are excellent.
    There are photos and captions at the end of the video that show and describe the other holders.
    Thank you for watching. The video is intended to be informative and has no real entertainment value, (sorry about that).

    Questions, questions, questions. What is mounted on top of the cross slide? Details!
