Title: quick change toolpost
Post by: Southern Sailor on April 10, 2022, 05:48:34 pm

I am visiting the UK and want to purchase a quick change toolpost that will fit an Optimum D180 x 300 Lathe. Any tips on how to know whether an item on a website will fit the lathe or not?  Any advice?

chronos, RDG tools or arceurotrade, I think all 3 have drawings on the pages for the QCTP giving size ranges.

Thanks.  I found a good deal on Chronos by the looks of it.
