There was a discussion of that subject over on the Logan lathe list a
while back . They were advocating a spring tool holder for cutoff so
that it wouldn`t dig in . I do the same as you , set my cutter just
below center and it works just fine . They were all aghast that a simple
adjustment will do the same thing as their spendy tool holder . Even got
a few "That can`t possibly work or I wouldn`t have spent all that money
on my tool." exactly as I expected .
