I forgot to reply to this one.. Sorry, I did use them in universal style tool holders.. Its just easier for situations like this for me. I keep 3"x1/2" Flat bar on stock at all times and CNC most of my profile dies outta that.

Thanks for the info. Your parts look great.

I think I started my recip machine build after seeing something you shrunk on your first machine.

Very clean work. I appreciate the use of drawings and the machining that had to be done as well. Nice work, Steve!
