FS - Manchester groove tooling

[Overland]

I have 4 Manchester grooving tool holders with a big selection of supports and tool bits.
They seem to be mainly face grooving tool holders, of various radii.
The tool bits range up to 3/8" wide.
I'd like to sell the whole lot for $400, or best offer, plus USPS shipping.
I guess I could split them up, but I don't know which "supports" go with which tool.
Hit me up if you need more info or pics.
Surface rust from condensation.
Thanks,
Bob

Many of these "supports" in the 1st & 2nd photos are curved.

No interest in these ?
Is my pricing off, or are they obsolete ?
Don't mind splitting them up. Seems a shame to scrap them.

They are super, the best tooling ever built for this job.

Unfortunately, I don't believe any of the parts or the inserts are made anymore. There was one place making some Manchester stuff but I am not sure they still exist ? There have been a few threads about the line here on PM, then chase down the leads to see if you can still get inserts.

Otherwise, kinda low prices would be what you can get, I guess. I loved those things but no longer have a lathe.

I think Ox used them, or maybe still does, send him a note.

Bigger face grooving stuff like what those were specially built for would most likely be done with modular cartridge inserts today and for the most recent few decades.

Manchester was good stuff, but not used much anymore.

In addition, face grooving tooling is ultra specific. When you have a job that requires it, you buy exactly the tool you need. Odds of using face grooving stuff you have sitting around is fairly slim.

WOW!
That is some OLD stuff ratt there!

I have been running Manchester since the mid 90's on many different machines, and I am not familiar with most any of those parts.

I agree - I hope that you can find someone that might have interest, but likely at a WAY reduced price as I'm afraid that most, if not all of that equipment has been obsolete for 30 yrs by now.

Sorry

Hemly's had a large tote pan full of this stuff, in very clean condition for years in the $5.00 lb section, never seen it any of it sell.

Thanks, guys. I used that exact stuff. I see a whole bunch of the butt-brazed inserts, too. If'n I wuz still making round stuff I'd beat Mr Overland up for a cheap cheap price then run 'em until the inserts ran out. Those butt-brazed inserts have a vee on the bottom and a strong clamp on top, they flat kick ass over any iscar or sandvik ever born. And if you do blow a support blade, you don't have to replace the whole thing, just the blade, which was reasonably cheap.

I have no idea why they aren't made anymore but ... too bad, really. Good stuff

"Cutler Hammer" maybe ?

 

[Overland]

Thanks for all the interest.
This lot came from a cabinet alongside a massive Gisholt turret lathe.
Guess I'll put it up on ebay, unless anyone ........

Could you tell us the part numbers off the main body? I use manchester cut off tools on my warner turret lathe.

[Overland]

Chuck,
Here's the 1st one. "205-173" Pic shows the other tooling in this holder. Currently about a 1/4" tool.

 

[Overland]

Second one. Sorry but can't read part number. Physically about the same size as the 1st one.

 

[Overland]

Third one. Can't see a part number.

 

[Overland]

#4. Can't read part number.

I got a bunch of inserts and a holder off of fleebay a few years ago real cheap. Still running them too, pretty good stuff but unfortunately not much left for replacement parts and even less inserts.
