I think you will have to expand on 'it was no good'

Why was it no good?

[lug lordParticipant @luglord]

the one i bought for my mini lathe 7 x14 chinese one was not from rdg and the tools did not fit in the holder had to file them down and they was not very secure, had a lot of movement nothing seemed to sit flush . I i was turning 8mm stainless 316 so probably pushing the mini lathe to its limits .Hence why i sold it now and have a much larger myford super 7 which i love to use

i have about 12 from RDG tools and they all fit my myford dickson tool post with out any problems. also on my myford ml7r

Recently purchased an RDG quick change toolpost which is made to fit Myford , fitted it to my Warco BV 20 lathe, not strait forward as the mounting hole is 11.2 MM and needed to fit 12 MM on my lathe, to cut a long story short removing the 0.8 MM from the mounting location was a challenge as the mounting block is hardened ground alloy steel. Objective was achieved and the toolpost fits on my lathe a treat, to say I am pleased with it is an understatement, what a joy to use, all my 12 MM tooling fits the tool holders. I would endorse the RDG product and as usual no connection with company only a very satisfied customer.

I bought the RDG dickson type QCTP for the boxford, my lathe is a Chester DB10 so I had to modify the compound slide, now fitted I love it, I was worried about repeat accuracy but it seems to be really good, wouldn't be without it now.
