Lathe drilling from the toolpost.

[aphilipmarcou]

Thanks Tony. some time back I made a straight shank to fit one of several 1/2" drill chucks I have and by luck the diameter of this shank is a good fit into one of those boring bar blocks I have with my quick change blocks (minus the sleeve). But I am not sure I understand your "simple and fast alignment tool"- would you let us see some pictures of this please?
