A while back, my new good buddy
@Brent H was kind enough to give me a parting blade and holder suitable for my 16" SM that he couldn't use. Tonight I finally had some time to start working on it. Instead of putting the blade holder into a qctp holder, I cut the dovetail and made it into a QCTP holder out of it. Recently
@YYCHM had some dovetail issues, so I thought i would post a few pics.
The first three pics are how i got the holder from Brent, the rest are of cutting and measuring the dovetail with pins and an adjustable parallel.
Here's a little video of power tapping the height adjuster. I was tapping a blind hole so the chuck was a bit loose. That and I bumped the y handle on my way to the beer fridge and I didn't have the DRO set...
