If it is a Dickson toolholder, the following table may help: Dickson toolholders http://www.lathes.co.uk/latheparts/page13.html And some previous dialogue here, including other brands: Earlier posting https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=123597 Bill

399 forum posts 167 photos	Hi Bill & John, Thanks for your help. It looks like it is bigger than an S4 (147mm) as its 160mm long but the tool appature is right at 38mm. The S5 looks like it has a tool appature of 44mm from the lathes data. None of the data found so far gives the "V" locating dimentions that go onto the tool post. Wondered if it was an S4 with a slightly longer body? Wondered if anyone had an S4 to measure the fitting dimention? Peter
