Default Homemade Carbide Lathe Toolholder

According to :
Also there's an old machinist's trick. Put piece of soft material
(0.010" soft copper works well) between the shim and the steel tool
holder.


O.K. That would be an alternative to the carbide anvil which I
just suggested in another branch of this thread. It would deform easily
enough to bed into any imperfections in the pocket in the holder, and
provide better support than a tough steel would, and is easy to replace
when you replace the insert.

Enjoy,
DoN.
