    Gib Strip on compund

    I bought it new from KMS tool's in Edmonton, I tried turning it around and it only fits in 1 way due to the drilled holes in it. I took it apart again and noticed that the Gib is twisted a bit, I'll try lapping it.

    That's the other problem I'm having, besides the tool post loosening up when Parting off, the cut off tool digs into the piece I'm machining and stall's out the Lathe, witch in turn smoked my belt.

    Your not lying when you say they need torque to hold the holder, I can barely turn the top screw and that's all i can get. I'll have to have a good look at it tomorrow after work, Ide think I should be able to turn it a bit more than what I'm getting
