[00:00.000 --> 00:07.420] I have these beautiful CBN inserts that Eric gifted me, and I haven't had a real pressing
[00:07.420 --> 00:10.480] need to make a good holder for them.
[00:10.820 --> 00:12.020] So that's what I'm doing here.
[00:12.080 --> 00:16.520] I have my mini pallet set up using angle gauge blocks and my DAL pins alignment holes
[00:16.520 --> 00:17.220] that are in there.
[00:17.540 --> 00:21.120] And I've got a seat that actually forces this insert back.
[00:21.660 --> 00:26.160] And I can just keep moving it out and just grinding the end of the insert.
[00:26.460 --> 00:29.060] And I'm just going to have a clamp bar that clamps on top.
[00:29.060 --> 00:34.980] You can see here I've increased the capacity of one of my tool blocks to be able to clamp
[00:34.980 --> 00:35.580] on that.
[00:36.620 --> 00:37.900] There's the insert in the pocket.
[00:38.100 --> 00:42.320] It just slides out and gets just the end ground off on the very tip.
[00:42.720 --> 00:45.240] The tail screw holds the bottom piece in permanent location.
[00:45.360 --> 00:50.560] Clamp bar is crushing the insert into the seat and it's captive laterally.
[00:50.860 --> 00:54.020] Here you can see how the heel of the Alloris keeps the angle set for lapping.

Description in audio. The tool holder and clamp are made from hardened tool shanks that are about 50 RC. I don't know what these inserts were originally made for but they're beautiful for this application. By being able to just move it out a little bit and regrind and lap the end these will have an extremely long life. Now I'm going to do the same thing to the balls from my previous post but by hard turning. Thanks Eric @grimlockco
