We've got a fairly decent 16" Victor lathe in the shop (oops, make that

400mm...) with a square indexing tool turret. There is no proper T-handle

wrench for the square head screws to secure tools, I use a 7/16 wrench.

Have tried finding one here in AU, but boy, not much of a selection in

real machine shop tools so far. Just burned 20 minutes trying to find one

at MSC in the online catalog, no joy.



Anyone know if MSC carries such? If so, a part number would be great!

Or does anyone have one they could ship to my folks in the next couple

days? Can PP funds from my US account. My folks have a package of stuff

ready to ship to me, so if I can't get one to them within a few days, will

just keep on with what I'm using now. Hell, I'll settle for a 7/16 square

socket, I can take it from there.

How about an 8 point socket...MSC has them...

You beat me to it. an 8-point socket, an extension and a t-handle would be my choice.
