Re: Parting Off

 

I too use a "norman" style tool post, but mine is mounted on a 1.0 inch diameter post.
I works quite well and I have been using it for about?20?years now.
Drawings and photos are available.?

I made a Norman style QCTP based on Ralph Patterson's drawings.? It has a large (~1.25") mounting post.? The tool holders are pretty beefy as well.? This all provides worry-free parting off, as long as the tool is sharp and at the proper height, and the compound gibs are properly adjusted.?

The first commercial QCTP I got for my lathe was just too lightweight.? That thing DID cause all kinds of headaches.
