I guess I didn't state it very clear, the couple hundred was dollars. The OXA tool holders are something in the $25-$35 area, each. So another 7 or 8 should pretty well cover it. But I tend to do one project at a time, and right now, its getting a GO704 making swarf while I am on the rider, trying to get ahead of the jungle around here. More rain today, in fits and spurts, so the rider is parked anyway. > On 6/25/2015 4:22 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: > > On Thursday 25 June 2015 14:47:33 John Thornton wrote: > >> I have a little bit of info here: > >> > >> http://gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/g-code/lathe02.html > >> > >> JT > > > > And that makes at least as much sense as anything else I've read. > > But to really make use of it, I need to acquire another couple > > hundred in tool holders so that I am not forever changing the tool > > in one of the 2 or 3 holders I have, each time winding up with a > > different projection or Z offset...
