I am also looking for the same type of quick change tool post
setup
I have looked at the following companies offerings
I also keep a close eye on Ebay for original EMCO Q/C toolposts
but
they usually go for high money.
Sometimes I even think of going mad and going for a new EMCO
toolpost,
I will dig out the price and post it here on the forum.

I thought that some of the emcos came with Dickson (sp??)
toolpost. Which I think were made in England. At least this
was what I had been told by some guy at Blue Ridge Machinery.

Being in the UK, do you have easier access to Emco
products? Are they easier to get parts for in Europe?
On my machine previous owner attached a massive Aloris AXA toolpost
bolt (1/2" bolt I think). It is not clear how they attached
it. It looks like some part is pressed in, drilled
and tapped. So I don't think that I could easily go back.
Or at least I would be scared to screw it up.
I stumbled across a post on some old group that indicated that
the Super11 had the same problem at least with the cut off tool.

It is very possible that EMCO machines may have been fitted out with
English toolposts and chucks when sold in the English market.
Dickson were the main name in Q/C toolposts some years ago in
England, but the onslought of the far eastern products has removed
them from most hobby users shopping list.
I have a complete price list from one of the English EMCO
distributors, some parts are not too bad on price some are just sky
high! this list is part of the material I will put up in the forum.
When I called this distributor for some parts for my Compact5 CNC he
had them all avalible.
For some reason I just cannot get the Super 11 service parts list to
upload, Yahoo keeps saying the file has no data. I will check into
this at the weekend.
