If you have any old threaded 12mm cutters slice the end off and use it as a dummy centre in the cutter holder put  plain cutter in and it will tighten up

Hi V8Eng
You may be right White Waltham Maidenhead is not far from Henley . As you may know this was the HQ for

Hi Guys
A Spitfire & Hurricane was at White Waltham airfield Berkshire today

The tools too wide for parting off . I think its just facing or maybe form a part then part off ?
