Can you take the opposite jaw out of your chuck and perhaps turn the screw from the other side to the broken bit

Do they have a bit on the other side to do that

 

[Jlg]

Bought a nice set of glanze indexible tooling designed to use one insert for all. Well worthwhile. https://www.chronos.ltd.uk/acatalog/info_777102_.html
Various sizes available

They don't look like bad value but they are out of stock

Where can you buy the leather drive belts that hook together

Balata belt is the modern replacement for flat belts. You can still get round leather belting. Ebay.

Aye but available in other sizes. Not sure what you would need for yours. Managed to squeeze 12mm in mine.

Give em a call for an eta if 8mm is required. Just down the road from me so picked mine up in person.

Wife doesn't know how much they cost...

They are. Was looking at there indexible milling tools too

Quality is good and the fixings have held up well.

Double check what size you need.
I ended up facing off the bottom of my tool holders by 3mm to get tools on center

I've got 12mm tools at the minute and there just a little too high so I would get the 8mm tools and I can just shim them up until I get my quick change tool post

They do them at ten mm too

10mm was almost spot on with my four way tool post. Like I said earlier you won't get the boring bar on centre with the four way, it will not go high enough.

Could you not machine a spacer to go under the tool post.

That would work, a Dickson tool post was the option I went with.

Are they quick change

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Yes. One is on my list.

Using a Swiss type. Works well but can't find new holders individually and no time to make.
