Hi Jason,

Not sure how big a hurry you are in but since this is a hobby group I will assume you are in it for the fun of it and recommend you consider making a quick change toolpost of your own. The pattern I am recommending is usually know as "Mert's toolpost" in 7X10/12 circles, although it is not new with him and indeed there is a commercial toolpost out there that uses the same concept with the addition of angular indexing . See: and various references to "merts toolpost". These things are dooable at the rookie level and you will learn a bunch making one. Please note, you can make one of these without a mill but you will need a 4 jaw chuck (a much better use for hard to come by dollars since the stock tool post is quite usable and easly replicated you you want to change tooling quickly.) I made mine from 1.125 dia steel shaft and 1X1-1/2 hot rolled steel bar. Regards Bob Date: Mon, 07 Apr 2003 17:47:07 -0000 |
