I have been making my Oland tools after the manner of Knud Oland but
whatever works for you, works for you. He made his tools as I illustrated
on
the web site by drilling a round hole in the end of a round, not square,
tube and inserting a square tool bit in the round hole. It was held in
place
with a set screw. This is a simple arrangement that works well. I drill a
hole about 2" deep for a 2 1/2" tool bit so that as it shortens I release
the set screw and bring up some more tool bit. When it gets too short for
the set screw to hold, I insert a new tool bit. If you braze it on, after
it
gets sharpened down you have to remove it and braze on a new one. For that
matter, the set screw lets you take a half dozen inserts for a demo
without
having to take a grinder to sharpen, just use a new tip. If you
occasionally
need a different grind you could make a new tool or just switch tips.
======================

Darrell,
Since you are the group guru on Oland tools, how many different grinds do
you use on your Oland bits? Also, do you normally use square tools bits like
metal working bits, or round bits made from drill rod? TIA
