Hi all, i would like to fit a qctp to my chester comet lathe (sieg c4 clone) and wondered if any of you had already done this. if so which type/make did you go for and is it an easy conversion to carry out?

thanks very much

Hi

I’ve got a Comet and it’s a c4 clone.

I got mine from Chester with a qctp already fitted.

you can buy one from Chester.

“quick change toolpost small ” is what I have and the individual toolholders are easy to make, I have 14 at the moment.

hope this helps.
