How to size up a quick change tool post
chipenter:
I intend to buy a Boxford T1 quick change tool post from RDG at Sandhust Park Exibition , but I want to look at it first there is just not enugh information on the web site , I could let you know the sizes if you can waight that long .

I run a Harrison L5 which is a 9" lathe (4.5" to centre). I found the T0) tool posts suitable for the myford would have achieved the right centre height that I needed but the main holder was too small a square section that the attachments didnt clear the cross slide far enough to allow the tooling to carry out its duty where needed (not enough overhang)
I therefore went for the T1 which achieves the same height and will just about accommodate 16mm shank tooling and at the same time align on centre whn the holders are at the bottom of the slide
hope this helps
dawesy:
Thanks for the info.
I'll have a measure when I've finished rearranging the workshop.
