I have just received my new Quick Change Tool Post from Littlemachineshop.com and what a lovely little piece of kit it is. No more messing around with shimming up tools now, I can't wait to try it out. Everything looks very nicely made and finished and the fit of all the moving parts feels precise and not sloppy. After messing around with a pack of feeler gauges to set tool heights up it is going to be such a luxury to drop a holder in and start machining instantly.
If anyone is interested in such stuff this shop gives superb service and their site contains all sorts of usefull info, manuals and hints and tips.
I also got a boring bar set to fit the tool post and a new set of tools. They also do spares kits for all sorts of mini lathes and mini mills so they are a usefull point of contact for a lot of machining stuff.
