Lantern post cutting tools for Grizzly G9729

[LX Kid]

Several years ago, when I got my Grizz G9729 3-in-1, I had wrongly ordered several new Lantern Post tools. I never returned them and they are still sitting in in boxes. The cutters are 1/4" and the holders are 7/8"x 3/8" x 5". Does anyone know how I might utilize these on my Grizzly? They would probably sit low on the cross-slide even if I could find a Lantern tool holder. Thanks

Could you put a spacer underneath the tool holder ? ( if you have it )

That's the problem about not having the lantern tool holder. I hate to try and find one, expensive, and then it not work out. Maybe I could machine something to work if I have a little guidance from an experienced machinist. It has to be study or it will vibrate like the dickens.

I have a few of the toolholders . I would never use or need them . What approximate size do you need , and I'll locate them . I'll let 'em go for 8 bucks just to get them out of the house !

The shank is 7/8" high and 3/8" wide and 5" long. Yes I'd like to have your lantern holders! Please send me a PM for payment and shipping instructions. Maybe I can play around with them and see if I can make something useful. Thank you!

It's not that I'm in need of cutting tool situation as I already have a Sars QCTP. I'm just bored and would like to experiment around with these new Lantern tools cause I can't send them back. I recently cleaned up my small shop and found a set of change gears for my Grizzly that I didn't even remember having as they didn't come with my Grizzly that I bought at an estate sale where the man had died before getting to set it up. (Nice find!) A machinist friend of mine said he would come over and teach me how to cut threads being I now have the change gears.

Lathe porn below! LoL

You have a 4 way in the pic . Here is a pic of the post . At this moment I don't have the rocker plate but that's easy to make out of a woodruff key . I'm sure I have 1 or 20 in one of my drawers .
