I have just got this new lathe and am very pleased with it but soon found the toolpost supplied ment a lot of packing pieces would be needed for all the tools i have. I did'nt want to buy a QCTP as i would need so many extra holders. So i thought i would try and use the system I had on my previous Seig C1 lathe. After some carefull working out and setting up on a rotary table i carefully milled the radius and then made a matching boat shaped rocker piece set at the average height of the tools, then you ajust one or other screw until the tool tip is level with you height gauge, I hope you can see this in the picture. Having 4 sides to the toolpost is useful as you can modify 1 or 2 and leave the rest as they were,when it came to using a boring bar i found i could not get them high enough as the cutting edge is half the tool height, so i made a packing piece to fit under the toolpost to raise it 3mm. May there is a better way i have'nt thought of.
