@jackdawg4579 2 года назад

I have no issues using 12mm tooling in mine. But one thing I have noticed, is that no one ever talks about the ability to pin these tool posts to the cross slide for greater rigidity using the hole in the corner opposite the mounts for the tool holders. It means putting a suitable hole in the cross slide, but once pinned, it is rock solid.

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 2 года назад

Hello Jack, Many thanks for watching my video... I agree that the pin would help a lot... I am considering removing the compound slide as I don't use it to much, I also have a taper turning attachments for the odd taper I may turn... Take care. Paul,,

@MattysWorkshop 3 года назад

Gday Paul, that’s a nice finish on the QCTP, I have the same on my small lathe and I found it great to work with, I run 12mm tooling in mine no problem but I haven’t measured it to see if it’s the same model as yours, the tool holders can be expensive to buy on there own, I was lucky that I was given mine with a heap of tool holders, the only thing I found was when you are changing tool holders I always held the holder in the middle when I turn the handle to lock it in, this way it always repeated on centre height, great video mate P.S. Good some Myford action soon....😉

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 3 года назад

Hello Matty, It's good to hear your one was okay... and thank you for the tip on holding it in the middle... Pleased to see you saw the comment in the video description, I put a different one in each video, sometimes it takes me forever to think of something mildly relevant. Thanks for watching. Paul,,

@adaml52 3 года назад

Hi Paul, They are quite good, for the money. I've been using one for quite a while, only had problem with one tool holder being incorrectly machined. I use the same one from Rdg tools, the individual tool holders are quite expensive, I use up to 12mm tooling on the Sc4 lathe. They did offer a discount for buying more than one, when they are in-stock The boring bar holder is not very rigid, with the vee groove, so I use boring bars with flats on the shank, with standard tool holders They work well for me :) ATB Adam

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 3 года назад

Hello Adam, That's good to hear you used one for a while and interesting to hear the tool holders quality is intermittent... I am not sure how to overcome that other than try and make them myself which to be truthful is no guarantee of quality - lol. Thanks for visiting. Paul,,

@Xynudu 3 года назад

Hi Paul. Interesting video. So many different QCTP styles to chose from. I totally agree with your comment regarding people exceeding the design capacity of lathes and tooling and then whining about how bad they are. Don't these people have any brains at all ? LOL Total butchers IMHO. I was interested to see how square the tool holders pulled up. This is always an issue when the piston or ram is not dead on the holder center line as they can cant. That's why it's important that the QCTP be the correct height for the lathe/ center line. 10 mm tooling is quite OK for that sized lathe. I like the way the Myford cross slide is "T" slotted crossways, same as my early Sherline. So much more RIGID than the current fashion/fad of slotting the cross slide longitudinally. I had a rant about this a ways back. Most people will never use them anyway, so it's a pointless exercise 99% of the time. I bought a few items from RDG many years ago and the quality was OK, but nothing exceptional. Cheers Rob

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 3 года назад

Hello Rob, You are right about lots of QCTP to chose from and for quite a long time I was going to go down a different route but eventually picked this one... I think you can push the limits a little and maybe get away with it but if you go to far you are most likely going to encounter a problem somewhere else... Thanks for watching. Paul,,

Interesting tool post, it looks like it will work well on that lathe. The finish looks great on camera.

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 3 года назад

Hello Steve, The actual tool post was really good and I was very surprised when it arrived... and to be honest the tool holders just needed a bit of deburring and a tap run through the threads... I am hopefully it will serve me well... Thanks for visiting. Paul,,

@BundyBearsShed 3 года назад

G day Paul, like most things of Eastern origin I find a bit of fiddling and finishing makes a good tool to use often. I'm sure it will be a great tool.

@theeddies 3 года назад

Those are nice. I looked up a few and they are very reasonable priced and seem, in my mind anyway, to be a more solid lockup than the wedge and dovetail type I have. The only drawback seems the cutter size as you mentioned. Most of my stuff is 3/8" and 1/2". I have actually had to modify a few of my cutter holders to fit my own. Thanks for sharing. All the best!

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 3 года назад

Hello Eddie, Thanks for visiting... I agree they do seem more solid than the Dovetail/Wedge type and are not that much more expensive. I think here in the UK the additional tool holders do seem to be a little more expensive so, I may be limited on how many I have. It will be interesting to see what I can do with the smaller tooling and if I have to make modifications. Take care. Paul,,

@CliffsShed 3 года назад

Hello Paul, You won't regret it, most things need a bit of "fettleing" nowadays, my emco came with an elliot dixon type qctp. and I have bought a few of those which fit it, Trouble is you cant have to many toolholders! Good job they aren't to dear! Atb, Cliff

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 3 года назад

Hi Cliff, Thanks for visiting... I have been tinkering with it since I made the video and have been happy with it... You are right most things need a little attention. I have not ordered any more tool holders yet but that is a job to get do this week... Take care. Paul,,

@yvesdesrosiers2396 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing. A suggestion on the tool post is to pull it apart and clean it thoroughly because of the potential of all the grit inside. All inexpensive unit should be cleaned in that fashion due to the lack of attention when they are assembled at the factory.

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 3 года назад

Hello Yves, Thanks for watching and taking the time comment. That is a good ideal and I will do that this weekend... Take care. Paul,,

@EverettsWorkshop 3 года назад

Like you say, at a price point there will often be some final fit and finishing needed to make a tool satisfactory for use. All of us hobbyist sorts are used to that sort of thing, it just depends on which end of the gradient it is, lol! For the most part looks like a useful little system though.

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 3 года назад

Hi Everett, Thanks for stopping by... If you purchase new on a low budget there is work to be done, if you purchase second hand there is restoration to do... if you purchase new expensive stuff you never use it as your at work all the time trying to pay for it - lol...

I have a Chinese made one and I can use 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch I guess anything in between, and you set each holder for the cutter you are using and it will always stay the same once set,, I ordered two more tool holders so I can pretty much leave them all preset.

@jonsworkshop 3 года назад

Hi Paul, getting there mate, looks well on the lathe. Looking forward seeing it in use. I think you have a good plan to tool up the machine within its limits, so many will try to overstretch the capacity and then get disillusioned when they get chatter / vibration. You can do a lot with 10mm Tooling, just need a bit more patience, it's a hobby so there's no rush. Cheers, Jon

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 3 года назад

Hi Jon, After a bit of pondering I did come to the conclusion that if you deviate to much from the norm you will most likely pay the price somewhere else. Also, being retired if anything take a little longer it does not really matter... Thanks for watching. Paul,,

@ollysworkshop 3 года назад

Hi Paul, that's basically the same toolpost that I have, I think I have the next size up. My tools tend to sit right at the bottom of the toolpost, and on a couple I've actually had to remove a small step of material (maybe 3mm) to give me enough adjustment to get them on centre. I'm generally using 16mm tools, but the toolholders are 20mm. I suppose it just depends on the lathe. The only trouble that I've had with the toolpost is that the piston can be rattled loose, especially during interrupted cuts. I think this may be because both parts are so hard, there's no elasticity to soak up the vibrations. I didn't get any locking screws with mine! All the best.

@TheKnacklersWorkshop 3 года назад

The Dickson QCTP looks great on your Myford, and that style is quite rigid. Most Myfords I've seen in videos have either a Dickson style or an old Norman style. If you would like to use slightly larger insert toolholders, I've seen where others have milled down the bottom to fit.
