Doing the small amount of machining necessary to mount an imported quick change tool post to a South Bend model 9A lathe!

Nice job adapting the QC tool post to your lathe. I put one on mine also but now and then I find the lantern tool post lets me work closer on some things or makes it easier to get to the spot I need to cut so it is held in standby and still used often.

Nice to see you back at it! The addition of the qctp is in my opinion the best upgrade one can do to these old lathes. Absolutely love mine!

[@PracticalRenaissance]

Thanks! Yeah it's very solid and sturdy, makes a huge difference already!

[@billcodey1430]

I like it. That white paint turned out great.

[@PracticalRenaissance]

Thanks!

You make Fusion 360 look like fun. Everyone else makes it look like a pain in the rear. Thank you.

[@PracticalRenaissance]

Thanks, it IS fun! and a lot of those other channels are who I learned it from! :)

Nice job Jeff, you beat me to it I got my quick change about two weeks ago but have not had the time to make a video about the fitting the nut to the compound slide. Hopefully this weekend, that if I can get caught up and finish the other projects this week after work. Damn that's a nasty four letter word ending in K.

[@PracticalRenaissance]

Can't wait to see yours! I hear you, I'm lucky to get a whole rash of projects done over the course of a weekend and then sort the video footage out over the following weeks :)

Great video nice tool post aswel ! I use a multi fix but only because that best suits my nature of work . But then again you can make your own tool holders a lot easier !!

[@PracticalRenaissance]

Those are real nice, couldn't find one in my budget and, like you said, the aloris style tool holders are easy to make, and cheap to buy too! Thanks for watching!!

[@machiningbasics1729]

Yea they are good mines an old German made one . And I did manage to make 2 tool holders but it took a very long time .!! Keep up the good work

[@donaldnaymon3270]

Great job. Fit nice. Thank you for sharing.

[@Azathoth43]

newb question, what size QCTP is that? Do you find Shars to be of good quality?

[@keithwatkins5494]

Great video. I have a Southbend 10K and recently purchased a Shares quick change tool holder as a result of your video. Now for the T Nut...would you mind sharing the dimensions of the nut you made? I need to have one made also. Thanks, Keith

[@stretchmfe4913]

At about the 1:20 mark, look at the programming. But, yours may be different.

[@robertkutz]

nice work.

[@BellyUpFishGarage]

Are you still happy with the 704 or do you feel the need for a larger machine yet?

[@anthonydefelice3255]

Where did you buy your cutters and inserts and your tool holders

[@ruppi42]

A good video, thank you for sharing!

[@jasonburns1407]

Thanks for sharing

[@quocbao5140]

hi men! what software you use?

[@tuliooliveira_br]

Autodesk Fusion 360.

[@theogmrbill1]

Where did you purchase the qctp?

[@PracticalRenaissance]

Got it from Shars on eBay: ebay.to/2UgXtCS

[@pmcload]

@@PracticalRenaissance I checked the sit you supplied and the price was over 6 grand...are you kidding me?!

[@pmcload]

@FoxRcng708 I revisited the site via your link. Now it's 66 bucks. They must have had the decimal in the wrong place and it read over 6 grand. Glad they fixed it.
