LOL, Haven't seen a Helicoil in years. Thanks for the throwback.

Thanks Dog, gotcha covered on the throwbacks. And threaded inserts.

Nicely done! If I was in that situation and was feeling particularly smart that day, I probably would have done the same! Maybe with some purple threadlocker to keep it from backing out while still keeping it easy to service.

@Haptic Garage
I've been looking for a fix to the toot post on my mini lathe I think I've found it. ✌️

[@HapticGarage]

@@kevinhamling1963 Cool! The "AXA" size may fit; there are a lot of tool holders available for that one and the "BXA" on my lathe. Good luck!

Thanks Rodney, you're spot on, I'm loving this thing. I found a few more holders and have everything I use mounted in one. Lathes are great and I'm having a good time learning about mine. Have a good weekend!
