First changeable Tip tool.
I have decided to have a go at making my own replaceable Tip tool, so far so good. To this point it has cost $5.30
I was changing the cutters on the spindle moulder at work and it has 4 , 13mm square bits for getting into the corners of rebates. So a quick chat to foreman and I can take old ones.
off to metal yard and bought 500 mm of round bar then a stop at bolt shop.
Final stop at my tame metal workers shop
This is the end result, just need to turn a handle and a sharpen with a test run
thanks for looking.

Chuck, for the swan neck tools, I though that the cutting bit was in line with the shaft, otherwise control of the cut is difficult.

Smiife, to protect me against the Steb drives & centres, they are blessedly sharp!

Should of asked more questions first! It's a learning curve, any other Tip would be handy.
They are serious puns! Thanks guys.

At least it is too long and a relatively easy fix, cut off/grind flat/redrill & tap etc . While your modifying, use a round TC bit rather than square, much better for hollowing
