Hi Ralph
l am away from home at the moment. I will post some more photos maybe Sunday night.
Just to clarify, by 'larger' lathe, l mean a lathe which would swing more than 13"
I don't think this would be suitable for your Hembrug
Cheers
Peter

Hi Mick
No worries, let me know how you go.
Just out of interest, does your Macson lathe have a 2 5/8" diameter threaded headstock spindle?
Cheers
Peter

To be honest I dont know Peter. Ive never disassembled it that far. It has a radial slotted mounting plate on it with a taper locator for the chucks to sit on.
Ill have a look on weekend and let you know

Thanks Mick
No need to pull anything apart. I have a couple of chuck adapter plates that are threaded 2 5/8"
Just curious what they were off.

Hi Peter,
I'm looking for a quick change tool post for a Sheraton 9" lathe. In addition to this tool post being accounted for, it is unlikely to suit my machine. Does anyone have something suitable they would be willing to part with?
Cheers Marco

The QCTP is no longer for sale.
l ended up swapping it for a Rapid Fontana Type A tool post with 4 holders.
Cheers
Peter
