My Myford ML7 came with the original tool post, which up until now I have tolerated. It holds only one tool and it is very time consuming to set up a new tool at center height. So I decided to build a quick change tool post from some plans I found on the net somewhere. I've found it difficult to get exactly what I wanted in terms of raw material, so I have settled for some chunks of steel which really do not resemble at all the final shape which they shall take, however, I believe it will be a worthwhile project as a learning exercise (I have never milled before) and also as the final product will be of great value to me as a tool. Here are some pictures of my progress.

That's all for now will post some more when it is done!
