I also have a Super 7 Myford. What is maximum size shank I can use with that ? Could make sense if I get a set which will suit both lathes. Thanks for all input so far. Mike.

It's easy to pack up a tool to centre but if the cutting tip is too high you would have to remove some material from the bottom of the tool to achieve centre cutting height. Emgee

7468 forum posts 230 photos	Yes Nick, I think I may also put a little locating bump on the bottom of the bridge, Or redesign the whole tool, but the tips were free, so I had to use them, there's a few other shapes as well. Ian S C
