Hello,
I've recently(ish) got myself a vertical mill and i want to make a quick change tool post for my lathe. Where could I find a set of plans for one? I'm looking for something about equivalent to a BXA size for a 10"x30" lathe
 
I have drawings available for $5.00 here you can see a scaled down version.
 
I thought about this and just bought a OXA wedge QCTP.
I do plan on machining a plethora of tool holders though.
On a scale of building a small machinist's hammer to building your own dividing head , the tool post does fall somewhere in the middle. The thing is I've built the machinists hammer and I'm waiting on the Hemingway kit for the Versatile Dividing Head to arrive. I don't think I'd ever be interested in making my own QCTP.

However I have considered making my own QCGB for a 6" lathe.
I suppose this makes me a bit odd.
