Oh him.
Interesting life, ex junkie.
I met Sam Lovegrove in 2019, in our local boulangerie, bread shop.
I said I know you don't I ? He said he gets that alot. Nice bloke.
Has a place over here, was off to a local vintage motorcycle bash.
Yeah, I'm with you Ronan, 'him'.

Sam, yes seems a nice chap, bit of a hippy i think. He is involved with Mark Upham who owns "British only Austria" and the famous Brough Superior motorcycle brand.

There shouldn't be much difference in insert height.Whats wrong with left hand on a Harrison? no screw on chuck. Easier to see the cut
Im thinking that to make a 250-100 holder would be silly, instead to bolt a block to the cross slide and bore it out, but that will loose any fine height adjustment, then need shims to adjust differing insert heights - quite a difference on the polished ones. Hmm...
If you think of a CNC lathes, the turret blocks or VDI holders do not have any adjustability to the height and they don't have issues.

Interesting to know. I assumed CNC'ists had a Z axis, or rotating turret to give programable adjustability?
Then question of a straight 32mm bore, or a 30mm milled slot. The bar has 3 square sides so a slot would be better.

Z axis on a lathe is along the bed and X is across. Some CNCs have a Y axis as well which is up/down but that is more the modern ones with live tooling.
Turrets rotate but lock onto a curvic or Hirth coupling so are solid, you can slacken and align the turret plate for alignment but once tightened the plate is solid to one half of the coupling and thus set at that height and will just rotate and clamp at the same height.

Tesa bore gauges, is that 3 point micrometers? If so they are the best in my opinion, even better than Mitutoyo.

Forgot how good skip raiding at work could be. Tons of 2mm polycarbonate sheets about 300mm x 1200mm. 4 sets of gates (2 outside are too big for our stores) as well as about 40m of 4mm2 SWA. Also half finished roll of weed control fabric.

A Banggood special. It was only about £6, but a good size for the Boxford. Hand finished to fine tolerances by a monkey with an angle grinder 
Still, 10 minutes and a bit of fettling in the mill and it's rock solid, rather than rocking
