Nose cones????

[blackburn mark]

if i had this issue i would be pretty confident that a simple acetal leg running 45 degrees (ish) from my spindle clamp to the tip of my tool with a nice C shape cutout in the foot for chips to exit the tool aria, take any sharp edges off the foot (acetal polishes quite well)

no fancy springs, just skim a bit off the leg untill it gave the right amount of flex V pressure

might just work :)

Thanks Mark

I think I can probably manage something along those lines.
