I have a new QCTP but it is meant for a T slotted top slide. Mine has only a single bolt. The bolt passes through a raised "collar" which is integral to the top slide. In order to use the new tool post I have to remove the collar portion. My question is how best to do so. I have a lathe and a drill press. These are the options I came up with:
1. drill it off with the drill press. Seems a bit crude but easily set up.
2. put it on a face plate on the lathe and turn it off. Or
3. Cut it off with a hacksaw and file it level. Also crude.
So how would you do this or do you have a way to leave it in place and still get the TP to fit?
