1340gt Qctp Tool Holder Hanger

[Randbo]

I made up a hanger for the quick change tool holder to mount on the PM 1340GT. I have seen a few designs like the one I did from this site as well as others. I'd say I copied Mikes (zmotorsports) to some degree but with a little twist. I wanted to go with something other than unistrut. I ended up using some 1.5 x 1.5 inch 80/20 t-slot aluminum I had sitting around the shop.

I then used some scrap polycarbonate to make "holders" that attached to the 80/20 with 2 flat socket cap screws 1/4"-20. I beveled the top pieces at 30 degrees to lock into the holders top dovetail.

Then attached to the top of the backsplash on the lathe. Holds them very secure.

I need to go visit my friends at 80/20 to drop off the new Snap-On sales flyer and ask about a piece of scrap material ;-)

You're welcome. I just wish I could take credit for it. I saw it somewhere else as well.

Looks nice, On the T slot you can adjust if needed. which is a problem I was lookin at on another style.

Yes they adjust very easy.

That's the best looking solution that I have seen on this forum. I might just be forced to cop it.

Feel free to copy away. But I want to see pictures if you do.
