Re: Quick Change Post changed to lathe color
I looked online at the color for K08309007. It pretty much matches what is on the lathe which contradicts the color of the milling attachment. However, like you said, it is my lathe and so I can paint

Re: Quick Change Post changed to lathe color
Lathes that were sold as Craftsman came in a color close to the current Krylon-Industrial Regal Blue (part number K08309007). You may not find this in home centers and may have to order it online, as

Re: Quick Change Post
No Tee-nut needed for the QCTP. I used a length of ground flat bar, 5/16 x 1 x 2 11/16 (T W L). I made my own bolt then drilled and tapped a hole to match the bolt. Threaded the bolt in so it was just
