Questions re home made BXA 250-202 quick change tool holders
Hi All,
I am interested in making some home made 250-202 QCTP tool holders. I would be looking to make 3 or 4 of them and was wondering:
1) Where would I get steel to suit? I think I would need a piece 30mm thick by 90mm wide x 200mm long to make four. I would be able to mill the dovetail in one go with a piece like this.
2) Could they be made out of aluminium? I could cast the bar required that way.
3) would this be economically viable given they could be bought new for $45 each delivered? I imagine the steel off the shelf would be very expensive.
Grateful for any thoughts or suggestions.
Brendan
