I put an album in the Photos section named DIY_QCTP with a photo of the same name.? I don't remember where I saw the photo or sketch that inspired it.? There was another sketch out there that had the clamp section as a loose piece with a pivot point machined into the back instead of saw slot ending in a hole.? The tool post and tool holders are not hardened, but I've been using them for to or 15 years and haven't noticed any wear.? The tool holder for 1/2" tooling is a little thin on the bottom, but it does not deflect.? There is a 1/8" spacer with an oversized dovetail slot under the tool holder to raise it up over the hump on the cross slide.? The tool post block is about 2"x 2" and 1.5" tall.? I used a knee mill to make it.? I don't know how this compares to other QCTP technologies, but it is at least as rigid as my lathe.
