I'm looking for larger indexable holders, 5/8"+, I've got a pile of inserts I picked up and now I need holders! If you've got a Kennametal Top Notch holder thats what I have the most inserts for I think.. I've attached a picture, althought I've got other inserts I need holders for.
Don't apologize for having some summer fun JW. You can sell a lot of the bigger stuff by yourself, just walk into machine shops and show it, the guys are always looking for good tooling deals, specially these days with oil and gas out of business.
The best way to get scrap metal for practicing on,, is to go dumpster diving behind machine shops. IE,, Union Pump, at 61 and barlow, tosses lots of old stainless pump shafts. After a while, you get to know whose Calgary Metal dumpster has what.
