Harbor Frieght Tool Post

Has anyone tried the H.F. quick change tool post for the mini lathe? OK? Junk? Somewhere in between? I'm thinking about trying one, but hate to waste my money.

I don't like the way it works. I think you can get a better QCTP in OXA for the same price

OXA is the size designation for an Alloris or Dorian style quick-change-tool-post that would fit a mini lathe. They are either wedge or piston operated, just like their big brothers.
