Now the tooth holders. I first made a template out of wood and fit the
teeth onto the holder mockup. The teeth have a 27-degree pocket. Next
I drew a full scale drawing with my CAD program. I printed the result and
compared to my template. When I was satisfied, I emailed the DXF file to
my favorite CNC steel shop in SoCal. And voila, they came by USPS. These
shanks are cut from 3/4" thick A36 steel plate and cost about $15 each for
the steel, the labor, and shipping.

Next: the installation.
