I have a 9×20 lathe and would like to get a QCTP on it, I have looked at Steve Bedair's site and it looks as if the toolpost's need some work for them to fit the lathe. The toolpost he used is a Harbour Freight 39083, is there a similar type that can be adapted for the UK.

Alfie have you looked at the arc eurotrade toolposts ? http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk or just click the advertisement at the top right of the forum homepage .

I use an axa size wedge type on my 9×20 ( called an AL50G here in oz ) mine came from ctc tools in china and is very well made and cheap to but but freight and insurance was a killer !

These units came with a 9/16 post so all i had to do was drill and tap the compound slide 9/16 nf.

I replaced my Dickson type QCTP for a wedgie earlier this year ( sourced from Arc Eurotrade – 000 size ). The supplied generic fixing stud didn't suit my 9 x 20 lathe so I made one from the scrap box. I wish I'd got one of these in the first place, they're much better, in my opinion. I would suggest you get more toolholders than you think you'll ever need; you will need them!

I'm going to fit an Arc 100 wedge toolpost to the SC4. All it needs is a replacement pillar the same as the supplied one, but with an M10 instead of M12 thread on the bottom.
