Why can't you measure the dovetail on the holder?Aye I got the post from arc euro, they don't have dovetail sizes tho
I can, but am unsure of what sort of clearance they have for a sliding fit. If worst comes to worst I can measure it up and give it a goWhy can't you measure the dovetail on the holder?
I don't have any holders at the mo to measure off, only the post itself. I'm trying to be a cheapest and not have to spend anything on a holderBack at workshop this afternoon and mine are 300 series so definitely too big.
Regarding the dovetail, I just measured one of the holders, no need to worry about clearances if you make it the same as that.
Those should be the onesMy apologies - mine are 250 size. I got confused because the main tool post is 250-200. The holders are 250-201, 250-202 etc.
