Just a heads up post here....
I bought a Miyano Lathe earlier this year and now have a job where I need a radial live tool holder. The machine came with 2 axial holders but I don't have any radial holders. I messaged Frank Mari back and forth a little when I bought the machine, he has historically been a big Miyano guy based on reading some posts here. At the time I bought the machine he mentioned that he was getting some live tool holders made to sell. Fast forward to now, I got a few quotes from some other vendors and called Maritool. They're stocking them now. The prices beat most of the other quotes I got and I assume that Maritool uses these same holders in their machines so I trust that they'll be good. He doesn't have them on the web site yet so for now need to call and ask what they have. Mine was in stock.
I don't know if they have or intend to have holders for other machines so maybe Frank will chime in and elaborate. For me in this case it was a real blessing because not only was the holder cheaper but most other vendors don't seem to stock them and have a lead time.
