This quick change tool post set (QCTP) includes the tool post, mounting hardware, two turning tool holders, a boring tool holder and a cut-off blade holder.
Made by A2Z CNC.
The turning tool holders accept tools with 1/4" to 1/2" shank. The boring tool holder accepts boring bars with 3/8" shanks. The cut-off tool holder holds 1/2" tall parting blades.
This tool post mounts on the existing stud. On most 8x12 and 8x14 lathes you must reduce the height of the boss on the top of the compound.
Chris' Tips
See the comparison chart of the quick change tool post sets we carry.A2Z CNC makes versions of this QCTP for many different lathes.Some modification is required to mount this post on the 8X12 lathes. To mount, remove the cross slide and take the mount stud out from the bottom. Cut the shoulder surrounding the stud to 0.175" tall with a hack saw. Reinsert the stud in the cross slide and put the cross slide back on the lathe. Place ring spacer over the shoulder and put the QCTP on top of it. Secure it with the threaded sleeve. Bore out excess threads on the sleeve if needed.
