Picture shows a tangential holder for carbide for Myfords and other small lathes.
At least I still try.
The M6 clamp screw clamps so that tool does not slip unless doing stupid deeds.
On Myfords there are not heigth enough to use M8
But it gets worse every time because steel- steel is no recomended bearing couple.
Thread is not a problem but underside of head to holder is.
I have tried a differential arrangement and this is better but a beast to assemble.
Next essay is to put a washer of different material between screw head and holder.The conical washer will be easy to make in a lot of materials but I wonder if it can be brazed to the screw.
Now comes the question:
Do Unbrako 12.9 screws get weaker by being silver soldered?
Any even better suggestions?
