Quick change tool post

One thing is do is to use insert tooling that was meant for larger lathes and cut the dovetail directly in the tool holder the put an adjuster in it. Two reasons for that I have a lot of these kind of inserts because I got a lot them from vendors and in purchases on e bay.
I reckon you get greater rigidity as well through being one piece and bringing the work point closer to the centerline of the toolpost
