At the moment I have got the create tool quick change toolpost in my lathe. But lately I was thinking of doing some drilling when the part is in the chuck.
Now that brings me to the point where I would need a drill chuck mounted in the toolpost.
Since the create tool toolpost is not the wedge type, but the type where there is 2 holes in each side of the toolholder and a bunch of 45 degree angles between.
I'm thinking that such holder is pretty difficult to make for me. I do work as a cnc milling station set up person, but that means ALOT of setting up.
What would you recommend for me? Get a wedge type toolpost or make a holder without those 45 degree angles?
At the moment I would not like to buy an expensive wedge toolpost because I have one(non wedge), but if I can't work with what I've got I must buy.
