I have a quick change tool post on my King brand 14x40 lathe.
I recently bought a MT3 tool holder so I can drill from the tool post. I am looking forward to trying this because I can use the DRO for exact drilling depth, and clear chips easier and "Bird peck" easier on deeper holes. So nI hope this works.
Finding the centre from front to back wont be a problem because I can use the cross slide DRO to find centre.
How can I accurately find the exact up/down centre so I can set and forget the hight on the MT3 toolholder?
