The original gauge-plate blades, and hack-saw blades, are of rectangular section so the tool does not have to enter the work-piece very far for it to start binding in the groove. ' Having a screw-head projecting on the chuck side of the tool-holder may not matter for the particular lathe and use; but it's worth examining a commercial parting-tool holder of this general pattern. The clamp-screw is basically a short bolt with a shallow head, inserted from the tool side and nutted on the other, open side. The blade is thus held by a flange that is itself located to prevent rotation, by having a small flat acting against the ledge on the holder body.
