- a quick look at the Diamond tool holder. how it works and what it does, and why everyone should have one. also the first video with my new editing software and first with my new intro. oh. and video 100.
I said I would post a link. www.eccentricen...
Intro looking good Emma. Congrats on the 100th show. Thanks for the demo on the tool holder. More people in the UK seem to be getting one of those eccentric tool holders. They are being advertised in Model Engineer mag. In fact The guys from Eccentric Engineering have been demoing the tool at some of the big Mechanical Engineering Exhibitions (MEX). There are plans floating about now on how to make them in the home shop. I saw a guy from Norway advertising them on one of the forums I belong to. Maybe I will get one one day but seem to have more tools than I will ever be able to use right now. thanks for sharing. Regards from the UK Gary
I've got one of these, they are awesome
interested in you tool post show us a over view in that , on that it as some interesting points on what I can see ?
Really old idea. I made one decades ago. It is a pain on a turret tool post but with a quick change it's usually ok.
Hi Emma,
A tangential tool (not Diamond as i make my own) is my go to tool, so much easier to work to close tolerances than expensive insert tooling, which don't.
You are right about not many people knowing these tools in the UK, I was demonstrating one of my self built ones at Model Engineer Exhibition a number years back and it seemed to be unheard of, judging by people reactions. I have been doing my bit to improve awareness ever since.
The earliest reference I have found, so far, is 1885 and I am sure that if they hadn't invented CNC, brazed carbide or insert tooling they would be better known world wide.

I have two sets of the Diamond tool holder and have used it exclusively since acquiring it in 2012
For those on a tight budget maybe have a go at making one - www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=85172&p=1
I guess I am not very well informed as I had never seen this type holder with the bit vertical. The manufactures video also came up and I was surprised to see how it can be used for so many materials without a change in the grind. Round bit as well. I guess you would learn in time but I'd need their video around as a reminder. Thanks for your video. (Could be due to the fact I had to get ride of my metal lathe 15 years ago to keep up )
100 is a lot of videos. I am only a little over half way there. I have seen that tool pop up here and there. I saw one video where the fellow had a huge lathe and he said he only uses that tool on it. It does look like a good idea and if I come across one I will give it a try. Thanks for the video.
I knew they made them back when my south Bend was new but didn't know they are still made
Interesting video. Been away because of illness and have missed a few. Congratulations on the 100 videos!
I'm in the process of acquiring a diamond tool holder. Much improved video quality (lighting and sound) and as usual an interesting program. Thanks for sharing.
Hope youre on the mend Jim! The diamond toolholder is one of the best things ive ever owned. Just makes the job so much easier. Thanks for watching! Is such a learning curve.
I think that I have seen that tool holder advertized in "Home Shop Machinist" here in the United States. Bob in Virginia.
great tool for someone just starting out without knowing how to grind proper bits
that an interesting tool post you have there tell us about that post . . sow use in more detail
Nice. I would like to find me one of these at some point.
Well done on the 100th video.
Greg Nixon thanks Greg!
It is a nice product, but in my opinion way too expensive. too bad.
+Flip de boer For a tool not made in china I think the cost is justified. Also mine came with quality tool steel bit already ground. Good tool steel adds to cost.
It's possible to make your own, but the fact that so many people buy them tells you that many people can't be bothered. Mine's on order ;)
When I say change the angle....
It's NOT any of the cutting angles
I've had mine for...about 22 years
Bought from Des Burke...
Worth its weight in gold
Well done, congrats on #100.
I almost skipped over the video though, as the cover image looks sort of white faded/frosted, and made it look a lot like a 'watched' one. If you are re-working your title intro, might want to take that into consideration. :) Keep up the good work.
HarreyHHH big thanks for the feedback. hadnt thought of that.
