   I suppose a lantern tool post "might" be able to hold a smaller scrap of   
   HSS, but to really get the most out of your HSS a tangential holder   
   might be the way to go.

   -------------------------------   
   I have a good selection of Armstrong and similar bit holders, obsolete   
   1960s-style tooling that matches my 1965 lathe. It's fine for carbon steel   
   up through Grade 8 bolt hardness and puttering geezer productivity.   
      
   I've seen only a few tangential holders for sale, for formed threading bits   
   and priced high. I made one to hold the shank of a broken carbide drill bit   
   nearly upright to turn the race grooves in a stainless thrust bearing sized   
   to fit pipe, for a solar array. My hands are still steady enough to grind a   
   threading bit to closely fit the arrow gauge.   
      
   Today's rainy day project is turning closer fitting spacers and bushings for   
   the ball bearings in the sawmill blade guide rollers.
