But the odd size is 7/8" because that is the size of the brass rod I made about 100 tap hats from.
This is to go with the gcode I've written to stop broken taps forever. I'll need to dedicate a 3/4" to lock a probe into forever, and a matching 7/8" to hold the tap-hat in. The one bar holder I have, came with the qctp kit is a 250-204, is 3/4" with the sleeve or 1" without it. And side of tool wedging screws, which I hate because they damage the tools if tightened enough to hold the tool. I'd druther have a good fit and draw screws to squeeze the steel across the gap. I made one sorta like that for the 7x12 many years ago but thar doesn't give me the qctp's fine veritcal position needed for this. Banggood doesn't have, Shars doesn't have. Am I going to have to make them? What I need is 7/8" that I can mill a shallow antirotation notch in the edge of to engage the 4mm cap screw inset into the side of the tap hat.
