Quick Change Tool Post

I purchased that exact same set, he shipped quick, quality seems ok. Is it an Aloris or Dorian no but my lathe is not name brand either, I also will never be making parts for the aerospace industry . The improvement in cutting quality was noticeable right away probably due to ease of setting center height.

Thanks I just have a off shore lathe but getting tired of shimming tools all the time.
 
I purchased a similar one from Shars and have been extremely happy.
 
That was my exact issue with the fourway tool post. every time a tool change happened the search for shims took the fun out of the project. oh by the way the two extra holders aren't enough, told my self it would be fine and now realize that with the ease of tool changes more holders set up and ready sure is nice!

Thanks I already ordered it. do you know if the seller sales them separate? I would get more because after shimming for years I'm sure I will enjoy just snapping that thing in and ready to go.
Thanks again
 
Yes, just about all sellers offer individual tool holders for purchase. And they are (pretty much) interchangeable.

Ain't that the truth! I made this a little while back to hold all the ones I already have, and I'm waiting for the UPS man to show up with 8 more I ordered from Shars.

I could use some more as I got 2 when I ordered mine a couple years ago.
