Been looking into getting a qctp for my Chinese mini lathe and eventually for the Dalton.
Been researching them and it appears the aluminum ones that are inexpensive are only really good for machining softer metals and plastics, but you really need a steel one for machining steel.
Came across a guy on ebay who is making them named metalcharger.? His price seems pretty competitive with the Chinese steel ones and he makes them with dual buttons.
Thought maybe someone here would be interested.? I don't know the guy and haven't purchased one yet, but it appears to be a nice quality item and a reasonable price - has good feedback on ebay.? Don't know if his are compatible with the standard OX type inserts.
Had thought about maybe making one myself, but by the time I got the tooling and materials I'd need at the prices today, it would probably cost me more that just buying one.
