Quickchange tool posts for Super C3

[Hubert BloomParticipant @hubertbloom29516]

I'm looking at the quick qhange tool posts for the Seig Super C3.

The one that arc auro trade recommend for the SC3 has only got a taper on one face. Does this mean that you have to ratate the whole tool post to do boring work? If so, is this not a pain in the backside?

Has anyone tried to adapt the series 100 quick change tool post from arc to fit the super C3. (It's part no 090-070-00405 on **LINK**&nbsp. The heights seem roughly compatible. The C3 has an M10 centre post and the above tool post has M14 so if all that is needed is a custom post with M10 at one end and M14 at the other then this would be easy enough to make. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hubert

Hi Hubert,

My own QCTP fits mini lathes (including Seig C3) and is in the latest MEW if you want to make your own.
