Hello All

i have a Denford Starturn 4 with a very small multifix style tool post but with only 1 tool holder. New holders from Rotagrip cost about £80 each which is crazy. Can anyone recommend an alternative toolpost which is decent quality and a fair price?

thanks in advance.

Think john's bit might be better in Model Engineering Club news, or Main Shows and Club events, it sounds as though it will be interesting. Ian S C

Just to bring this topic back on course, I suggest you try searching on eBay.de which always has a number of Multifix toolholders for sale second hand. I registered there using my UK eBay details to allow me to save searches and bid but it was easy to do. I have a permanent search for Emco toolholders as fitted to the Compact5 PC and CNC and there are always loads of multifix to be found (although whether they are the right size is another matter).

I decode using Google Translate and write any simple questions in the same way (like how much to post to France) and I have yet to have a problem after several successful purchases.

Frank – well John and I do both live in God's Own Country Andy

Simon – that's a very good idea and something I hadn't thought, I will give that a go.

Cheers Andy
