I'm not sure who does all that but They're doing a great job. I know how time consuming that can be. It used to take me many hours more than actually shooting the raw footage. Top notch channel.

Almost a case of where did you go loose wheel. Bench grinder really needs to be dressed as well, with that rounded over corner. But the first holder is nice, just needs to go to the mill, get held down by some clamps, and have that mounting hole counterbored the diameter of the washer, plus a touch of slack, so the nut is clamping evenly.

My guess is definitely shop made, from a section of fairly large I-beam, as that base "looks" like it matches the taper of an I-beam flange. As another commenter mentioned, there are tapered washers made for this application. I've heard them referred to as "hillside" washers. Not sure if you'll find them in a box store hardware section, but I'm sure somewhere like Fastenal, McMaster, etc. will have them. Would be simple enough to make though.
@CatNolara

If it was I-beam the part where the disk sits wouldn't be at an angle though. I think it used to either be a piece of thick angle iron or an originally square disk flange where the bottom side got machined to an angle. Bet the hole where the bolt goes through is at an angle as well. Would be good to have either an angled washer as mentionned, or a spherical washer with a conical seat. Those are even able to adapt to any angle, so very handy where you have to adapt for any kind of misalignment.

The main problem with all cutting tools is supporting the cutting edge. The standard parting clearance angles for our production tools: Both side clearance angles 3 degrees, front 5, vertical side clearance 1degree. Top rake varied from 5 to 15 degrees dependent on material. These tools would be used on our production, bar autos, at quite adventurous speeds

Nice HSS tool holder. First I think it was not a shop-made fixture. The angle base appears to be a casting with draft which makes me think someone was producing enough quantities to invest in casting parts. I also think there is a piece missing, the slotted wedge that goes under the base to adjust the side relief angle, 0-2 degrees (probably?). It works as-is but that’s a bit more side relief than needed. The angle on the mounting hole makes me think it’s oversized enough to suit about 2 degrees angular movement so the nut would seat flush. Maybe? It is an odd feature to an otherwise clever designed fixture. Thanks for sharing the details and I may just build a 3D model and print one to test the concept.

Retired now but for the last 10 years of work I rarely ground up any tools. Because I was involved heavily in CNC troubleshooting and prototyping nearly all my tooling was insert type. If I didn't have the insert the customer would supply me with the ones they were using. I built up a large collection essentially free and as a bonus for my own use they would let me take some out of the "scrap" carbide tub (In production they always changed the inserts regularly whether they were worn or not - last thing they wanted was a broken insert wrecking a job or worse).
