Help also finding this turning toolholder OT

[cnczoner]

Anyone know where I can find this tool, but in left hand. I need to profile the outside of aluminum tube (so it doesn't have to be a boring bar, but can be a regular turning tool), and want to mount the tool in the same direction as the rotational axis (Z-axis), so I can line up some tools next to each other gang-style. And I want to use DCGT or VCGT inserts.

The inserts can even be triangular, as long as it's perpendicular to the tool shaft, and as long as I can find those polished high-rake inserts for aluminum like the DCGT-AK or VCGT-AK inserts.

The price on this one is great, but Grizzly says that they don't have a left-hand version.

Cheers,
-Neil.

so, what is that logo near the head of the tool. You can bet that the part number you need is something like S20L-SDNCR-11 or S20L-SDNCL-11 or S20R-SDNCL. That is, one or both of the R's means right hand.

First figure out who that logo belongs to. If you take a closeup photo, I'm sure someone here will recognize it.

I had found the "standards" for naming these tools and apparently that "N" is not standard. That photo is a link to grizzly.com, so I don't actually have one that I can get a better look at. My guess is that Grizzly gets it from China. For that part number, Google got me what looks like an Eastern European company called "Tool Star", but I can't figure out where to get it in the U.S.

Thanks,

I'm happy if I can help, because I'm way down the pecking order on this forum.
