    I got one of the holders from Chronos for £26.95:

    It seems to fit well and is 'solid'. Even at that price it's going to cost a fair bit to get enough (though not 26!), and it's going to take a long time to make my own.

    There's a version of it here with the proper square bolts:

    Slightly more expensive but I might get one and compare.

    Jonathan that toolpost in the picture is 180 degrees out. :confused:

    If you are doing manual then yeah you don't need too many but cnc it takes so long to set them that it is worth it in the long run.

    Yes it is, didn't matter for what I was doing though! I realised what I'd done once I'd put the tool in...

    No doubt I will convert it to CNC soon.
