I thought I can ask this question here now.. So I would like to buy indexable lathe tool set, but I really don't know if 10mm shank is suitable for my minilathe. Original tools are with 8mm shank with fixed tips. Under these tools need to be approx. 1-1.5mm spacer if I want tip to be center of metal, which is going to be turned or faced. |

I use 10mm tooling on my mini lathe but have a qctp to accomodate the centre height.... |
| cre8tor:
Ok! I think I must buy too that QCTP. Is there any suggestions, what manufacturer and what model QCTP is suitable for my 300mm Einhell mini lathe? On my lathe is fixed bolt where original tool post stands. Do I need make any modifications to fit QCTP for my lathe? Or is it just straight fit to it? |

Hi, have a later version of the same lathe, and I bought c2/c3 qctp from Arc... No fitting, no fuss, no muss. Not sure if your lathe is an earlier c2-300 in blue, but if it is, Seig stuff fits directly... And spares are easy to come by, mostly from the "normal" vendors in the UK (Arc, Warco etc.). Kjelle |

Ok, good to know. My lathe is Einhell MTB3000 and in this forum I found some picture of it: http://foro.metalaficion.com/index.php?topic=6474.0 400W motor, and colour of blue :) edit. Looks like same as this Warco: http://www.warco.co.uk/metal-lathes-metalworking-lathe-machine/302983-mini-lathe-hobby-lathes.html |
