    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

    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

    Cheers

    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,

    if the sale is to a forum member get them to PM me as I might have an additional tool holder to suit that tool post.

    Cheers

    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
