Quick change tool post for myford mtype 31/2″ long bed

[Grant Allen 1Participant @grantallen1]

Has anyone had any problems fitting a modern tool post to the slide carriage, any issues you've come across and if alls working fine which brand and type did you use?

I would just like to say all the help I've received on has been 1st class and has helped me and hopefully other people starting out in this field.

Brilliant cheers David. Did you have and issues, obviously I dont have a lathe to do out on till this is done. Its abit like the lead screw half nut cant make one the lathe and cant make one with out a lathe.

I've used for several years a Bison (Tool mex) Type 4414 48 x 37 some times named T001 or S001 with a suffix of M or not.. They are a direct fit on the top slide of ML7's and Super 7's.They are expensive but top quality.
