Buy a copy of “how to run a Lathe”by South Bend Lathes.
you can find a reprint cheap, or maybe read it online.
but buy the hard copy.
I have always used the piston QCTP, the lathes I used when I did this for a living all seemed to be equipped with that style.
so when I bought one for my SB9, I bought the piston style in AXA, either wedge or piston will work fine for you.
i still use the lantern style when doing small threading or using my scissors knurler.
