I just got a knurling tool for my lathe but it is too big. The shank is 1/2" X 1 1/8". My tool holder accepts 3/8" X 3/4". Before I grind it down, I thought I would check to see if any one has what I need and wants to swap. The tool is a No1-K Armstrong and is used but almost like new. No chipped teeth. Want one in like condition.

Why don't you mill down the shank to fit your toolpost?
Or, as an alternate idea, weld a shank that's the proper size along side the original----one that fits your holder. That's how I use mine.

If he silver solders the shank on, he could remove it easily if he later upgrades to a bigger lathe.
