Diamond Tool Holder The Diamond Tool Holder was originally developed in Australia by Des Burke in 1. At the age of 8. 0 Des finally hung up his production overalls to spend more time in his shed on hobby engineering . I purchased the Bay-Com Diamond toolholder back when my shop was supporting itself financially. Since Des started the Diamond Tool Holder many thousands have been sold across the world, the majority in Australia and the USA where our distributor Village Press handle our sales. UK customers can now order direct from our distributor. Click here for details. Unlike conventional lathe tools the High Speed Steel (HSS) tool bit is held at a tangential angle to the work piece. Leaving only the top rake to be put on using the grinding jig that comes with the kit. All I've had to do is refresh the edge occasionally with a diamond hone. I was doing some web surfing last night and came across this diamond tool holder by Eccentric Engineering, Aus. It was very interesting and also had an attached video. An AXA holder weighs about 1 pound. The A2Z tool holders I use on the 6' Atlas lathe weigh about 2 ounces per holder. CXA block will hold a tool with a 1' shank. Be the first to comment on this DIY Tangential Tool Holder. Due to this tangential angle, all the cutting forces will be transferred down through the length of the tool tip. This together with a body cast in 4. The Diamond Tool Holder utilises a standard piece of square section HSS. The three smaller sizes use 1/4. HSS Tool bits are inexpensive and easily available from any engineering supplies. One tool bit blank is supplied with each kit. Resharpening is fast and simple using the supplied grinding jig. Just clamp the tool bit in the jig and run it across a regular bench grinder. Due to the design of the holder, this is the only face that needs grinding. Using the same jig, it is easy to grind the angles for a 5. V groove at the front of the jig. The relevant holders will also accept 1/4.
