Thanks for pointing that out. I'd never heard of this method of tool
holding but it certainly seems to have advantages. I particularly like
the idea of using round HSS blanks to make accurate round nosed tools.
Has anyone used one of these in anger ? Obvious question is does the
tool ever slip down the holder due to the cutting forces ?



If the tool slips, it moves away from the part, rather than digging in.

FWIW, the rather crudely built unit that I made, uses one 1/4" screw to clamp the tool. and I have stalled the 3/4 HP motor on my S7 without moving the bit in the holder.
