Tool holders for T2 (I think) quick change toolpost

[M250cnc]

I've tried J&J and Cromwell - they're £50-70, seems a bit much. I can't find any at buck and hickman, do you know of any others?

Little lathe cheap parts, big lathe expensive parts

I have various holders the next size down from various manufactures from original to new Chronos types

The newer ones are very flimsy which i only use for small boring tools etc the older beefier types for the bigger tools.

One thing i can say is hardly any fitted correctly which wasn't an issue when manual turning, but when i went cnc those errors were unacceptable and i had to grind the tool post and all the holders, now changing tools i can hold a tolerance of 0.01mm on diameter.

The other place is ebay i still want more so i may make my own in the long term.

Tooling can cost more than the machine, currently i have 26 plus the tools in them + insets = 3 to 4 times the cost of the lathe.
