Yes, you will have to mill the T-nut.? Unless you have the milling attachment for the lathe you will have to find somebody with a.mill.
There are quite a few guys in this group that can do it.? I have had 2 guys in the group do a couple things for me like this and did a great job.? One of them was the T-nut for the CDCO QCTP.??

How difficult will it be to machine the t-nut? Am I going to have to
find someone with a mill to do it? I measured the dimensions in the
headstock where a quick change would go, where the rocker tool post
attaches. The top opening is 5/8" wide, the bottom is 1" across, and the
depth is 5/16". I looked at the images of various quick change posts on
the internet and it seems the base dimensions are quite a bit larger
than this.

I also had to take mine apart and clean it up, but I think that is
just expected with any import tooling, and yes, you will need to
machine the t-nut.

AXA Wedge-type QCTP kit:
$129 plus shipping.
I am not endorsing this particular product or seller, just showing
that they can be had for little money in comparison to top-name
brands
that are priced ten times higher.
The kit I have was similarly priced and it works great! I can't name
the seller because he closed his shop several years ago and is now
into other endeavors.
