1817 forum posts 2 photos	I am looking for an 8 x 8 mm indexable holder for use with external threading inserts. The tooling is for an ML10 fitted with a Myford QCTP. Unfortunately this restricts the tooling to 8 x 8 mm shanks. The only one I can find is from RDG, after looking at the usual suspects. RDG do not state the type of insert that this holder uses. I have been told that it is an uncommon type and one is stuck with the RDG offering. I have no idea if this is true or not. Other types of 8 x 8 mm holders can be had, but are for commercial use and command prices which I cannot afford. Anyone know of other offerings that are not hugely expensive and take common threading inserts? Andrew. Edited By Andrew Tinsley on 14/05/2021 18:04:50
