I built this QCTP for my shaper a couple of years ago. I have a bit of an obsession with repeatable tooling, and wanted to include my shaper in the fun. It's repeatable to a tenth or 2, and at least as rigid as the stock lantern toolpost.
I've installed a 2-axis DRO on this machine as well, and the toolpost allows me to make use of the tool library... Though it's mostly for tool height compensation.
Thought I'd share, as I don't know of anyone else that's made something like this. Cheers!
(also, ignore the empty holes. This is one of the first holders I made, and I went with 6-32 hardware. Found out there's not really enough space for eight 6-32 fasteners, so later holders use eight 4-40 screws)
