qctp holders used on the mill

[Russell FurzerParticipant @russellfurzer50760]

I have just had a task requiring the holding of a 5/8 bar for milling and used the boring bar holder from my AXA tool post to hold it. Clamped the thing to the mill table. worked a treat.

I take it you don't have a milling vise then? You could also simply bolt the bar against one of the tee slots with a strap and 2 tee bolts – more rigid perhaps.

Good ideas always welcome.

Hi Muzzer

I do have a milling vice. But holding the round bar between flat faces didnt seem as secure as the tool holder.

I didnt use the tee slot because I wanted to access all of the end of the bar without hitting the edge of the slot.

The QCTP holder was very easy to set up too – I posted because I thought that this was a good solution to the job that I had on hand and that others might consider it as an arrow in their quiver.
