It has taken a long time but our first Quick Change Tool Post has arrived. In this video we will be unboxing, installing and testing the new tool post. We have never found a quick change tool post that was rigid enough or had the features our workshop needs to change out the standard tool posts…until now! We have to remove the original tool post and compound from the lathe before modifying and installing the new quick change tool post. We begin by machining up a new nut for the draw bolt and shrink fitting with liquid nitrogen before drilling and tapping holes to mount the tool post. Once it is all set up we do some testing on 4140 high tensile bar so see how the new tool post performs.

This is the Dorian Tool quadra indexing quick change tool post QITP50N model.

In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-26120G Lathe
- Hafco TM-1740G Lathe
- BM-63VE Milling machine
