QCTP Height Adjuster

In this episode I made an adapter for quick change tool holders which can only raise to a certain height. There are some tools that need to be raised higher than the holder can ordinarily go. This is a fix.

Nice solution for a common problem with QCTP's.

You have the wrong size tool holder for your lathe.

Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated

He could've used a spacer block under the tool post, better to have them centered on the post. But that's just my opinion and I'm nobody

[@LetsRogerThat]

@@rickstine7107 yep I could have. 😊

@@LetsRogerThat not trying to be a jerk. Just saying, the next size up is the correct size and would solve the problem. That’s why there’s different sizes.

@@DavidHerscher I agree with you David. When I started this little hobby I didn’t realize that and over time bought a lot of AXA holders and tooling. I’m too far in to get BXA. Lesson learned I guess. So for now that small modification will have to do. I’m glad you pointed it out though. Perhaps someone reading this tread will avoid the mistake I made. Gilles
