What is this tool called?

[marcros]

I have a nice set of t handled hex keys. https://primetools.co.uk/product/bondhu ... gKBGvD_BwE

I want to get the same thing, but with a square end to use in a lathe chuck. What do i search for?

(I know that I can getr these https://www.rdgtools.co.uk/acatalog/CHU ... HEAD_.html but i prefer the fixed t handle)

Can you not just get one from the second link, epoxy the bar in, then Plastikote the top?

 

[marcros]

probably. i just wondered if there was a common off the shelf item.

Do you know what size the square is?

In the past I've taken an Allen key of suitable girth and reshaped the end on a bench grinder

The RDG Tools link isn't working for me, are you essentially looking for something like this?

That is the type that i can get quite easily. I prefer the feel of the bondhus type though.

It looks like i may have to grind a hex key. I think that the other type comes with the chuck anyway, so it isnt an urgent job. I just wondered if they were readily available.
