Good for the money

Comments about CENTRAL MACHINERY Quick Change Tool Post Set for Mini Lathe:

As the others said the parting tool adjustment won`t go low enough. I made the parting tool work by putting it in up side down and running the lathe in reverse. That way I had enough adjustment to get to the center of the piece to be cut off.

Some instructions would be nice. The large allen screws must be loosened a bit to change the tools quickly and then retightened, but as I have used it more I have found it to be a good addition.

Comments about CENTRAL MACHINERY Quick Change Tool Post Set for Mini Lathe:

The chuck is designed to fit into the boring bar holder, not the MT2 tailstock of the lathe. Look at the Aloris QC design, they all do that. The idea is to mount a drill into the QC toolholder chuck so that you can use the carriage power feed to drill. You have to line up the drill chuck axis with the headstock bore carefully. Easiest way is to chuck a long hard steel dowel pin in the headstock and then use that to line up the drill chuck in the QC toolholder.





The cutoff tool worked fine on my Logan. You may have to mount it directly on the crossfeed, not on the top slide. If you don't want to do that use a brazed carbide cutoff tool in a square shank from Micro 100. They are available in 3/8" and 1/2" square shank. You can also grind the bottom edge of the parting tool where it sits on the toolholder to lower the cutting edge.





You may have to modify things to fit. If you don't want to figure it out maybe you shouldn't be running a lathe. This toolholder system is an old design used in the UK and is simple, sturdy and proven. Nothing wrong with it and this version, while cheaply made, is OK. You might want to change the dovetail locking screws to a higher quality graded fastener, though.
