Seems like my last posting "disappeared' along with the picture. Anyway "I'm making chips!" Had to use a 1/2" bolt for the it's head size to fit my cross slide. I then took the shank down to 7/16" size so I could make 20 tpi threads to screw into the bottom of the lantern holder. Did a test cut but my 500 rpm might be too low for the 1/4" tool bit. Gonna have to experiment around with that and look up some tech data to get the feed and speed acceptable.

That tool post looks familiar .

Took quite a while to make a rocker but it worked out. Now the big question is will I use it or go back to my QCTP? At least now I have a tool post that I could use with my 1/4” tool bits should I want to.

I've got a whole box of those. At least 2 posts and 12 or more tool holders. Even cutoff and knurling. I'd let the lot go for actual shipping cost + $20. They are the bigger ones.

Thanks for the offer but I just wanted one lantern post to be able to utilize these tool bits I've had for awhile. Gotta say they are not the most handy tool bit holder. Thank goodness for QCTP.

I had to learn to use them at the local JC in 1978, even though they were already obsolete. I couldn't believe you were asking for one in the first place. Now you know why no one uses them anymore. I guess it's kind of like the nostalgia for vinyl records.
