From the larger view some observations.
The split block clamps the round post for height and direction changes.
Allen screw through is the height adjustment.
Screw on top is recessed in the block to close the cut in the block.
Large allen head is to hold the tee cut base that sits on the lathe, my firm belief is not to make it captive to allow a very close approach on light work and to enable this tool to quickly be changed to another lathe.
The sizes are easily figured out from the size of the tee part covers the slot in the hercus slot on the lathe.
As promised I really enjoy this holder it is purely simple,quick to adjust.
