Actually I reground a triangular insert to be used to make a snap ring groove. I have a limited number of the 201s and always keep them loaded with square shank cutters. Not even sure if any of them might be 202s instead of 201s it has been so long since i have removed the cutters from them.
This collet adapter fits in the holders I have for 3 of my lathes 1 being a CXA 2 being BXA tool posts
In my original post I wrote it as a BXA but in looking this morning that holder was actually a CXA.
with the number of lathes I have it is sometimes easy to mix up the numbers and sizes of the tooling.
I don't do much internal single point threading any more and almost never any internal threads on anything under 1inch. I just don't have the patience for the fiddly little flexible shanks. Snap ring grooves in a 5/8 inch bore try my patience enough.
