Kerry Lathe Tool Post

Looking for a quick change tool post for a Kerry AG Lathe

[Matt MorgansParticipant @mattmorgans60576]

Hi All,

I've recently purchased a Kerry AG lathe which is in excellent working order. I'd like to replace the existing tool post with a quick change version and was wondering if anyone had gone through this process before I start investigating compatible options?

Many Thanks, Matt

There is a Kerry owners group on IO groups. You would be welcome.

A confirmed 4 way toolpost diehard.

(Well look at that, after three years or something, I've found my original login)..

Looks like the Kerry might use a T-slotted topslide, if that's the case a wedge- or piston- type 'Aloris' (or clone) should be a fairly straightforward 'slide-in' unless the Kerry uses some obscure 'nut' size – these toolposts mostly come with a stud and large flat T nut as standard, originally intended to replace the lantern-style toolposts that were then still common in the US..

I'm sure you'll find dims. somewhere on the 'net.

The wedge-type is a good toolpost, solid and repeatable in use, with cheap to buy / easy to make holders..
