Hello guys,
I have a question on a QCTP for my lathe. I have a Craftsman mod. #101.07301. Ser. #6L 028626. Right now I still have the original lantern style tool post and would like to upgrade to a QCTP. I have been looking a a few at Little Machine Shop and would like to know what others may have chose for thier lathe.
The two I have looked at are a #2486 which is a aluminum post with a few tool holders, which I think will work. The other one is a Tormach OXA #3112 which is all steel for about $30.00 more.
I am not concerned about spending a little more for something that will work and give me the best results, just want to make the right decision the first time.
I did measure the hieght from my compound to the spindle center which is a smidgen over 3/4" so I think either one would work but am leaning toward the Tormach.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks, Bill H
