Don,

I do not believe that Al is in need to the milling.? I'm the one fitting the Phase 2 QCTP to my SB9c.? Al was just schooling me on an approach.? I appreciate the offer to do the milling, but sooner or later, I need to put on the "big boy pants" and take care of it myself. ;o)

Greg

ps: If I crash and burn, I mat take you up on the offer.

The tee nut is deliberately left large so it can be fitted to your lathe. It is a metric thread on the P-2. I believe it is a M14 but not positive. I can measure mine if you want. It isn’t too hard to mill. You have a wide fitment tolerance for it. You can also file or grind it to fit.

Hey Guys,

Just transitioning to my new-to-me Phase 2 tool post on my SB9c.? No way the t-nut that came with it will fit.? I see three options:

1. Re-mill the t-nut that came with the post.? My least preferred option as I am not completely comfortable with my Burke No. 4 yet.
2. Redrill and thread my existing t-nut to fit the Phase 2.? I do not know the thread pitch, and I am thinking it might be metric.? Any ideas on the size/pitch?
3. Make a new post to fit the Phase 2 that matches the thread size and pitch of my current t-nut, and replace the top nut to an imperial thread.? Leaning towards this.

Please share your thoughts, and if you know the specifications of the t-nut thread.

Thanks,

Greg
