I made a QCTP for my Grizzly 10 X 22.
Here are some pics.

I'm really liking this tool. I used the almost completed tool to knurl some stock and part off the height setting knobs/nuts.
I will need to make one for my 7 X now.

Nice job, Ron. :thumbup: I bought a QCTP "block" + 2 toolholders for my 7x at a show here in the UK. The toolholder population is now 6, and will increase even further once I've picked up some more 1 x 2.5" bar. But the temptation to make one for every tool I own must be resisted, or I'll never do anything else. Eight or n2ine will cover all the usual tools, plus another reserved for those only used once in a while.

I've got 7 holders made. Still need a few more, but will make them in the future.

Nice work Ron. I'm going to need some for my 9 X 19 Grizzly if I ever get it back together again.
Were did you find the plans?

I found them here,

There are some missing dimensions but they can be worked out. I didn't follow them faithfully, but I stuck pretty close.
You might want to see this post on HMEM. Go to post #17. There is a pdf put up by "Doc". I was pretty well along on mine or I might have made this one.

I have just cut out the raw stock and am on my way out to the shop after this post to start mine. Thanks for the pictures. It gave me a clearer idea of what to look for.

That's looking real nice Ron, :bow:
I did make one while ago, a little bigger than a 7x12 mini lathe size. Works rather well .
Now I want to make another much bigger one, very much like yours. The only thing stopping me is finding a suitable block of steel big enough !!
Here was my build if anyone wants another angle on the subject, I warn you, it's a bit long winded but you might get some tips. http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=908.0
