You can shim the holder for offset notches.

Nice setup SkinnyG, how does it do with a bent tube?

I haven't needed to do any bent tube with it yet. I imagine a shorter angle-iron clamp piece would work, as long as you could still keep it secure. Or utilize some sort of shim.

That could definitely do the trick, I might give it a go when I get home from Germany and get my lathe back together :cheers:
