    Thanks guys, I also considered the straight slot with shims but went with the rocker type for ease of adjustment. Straight slot tool posts are easier to make without a CNC. The mini lathe is supplied with a 4 tool holder with straight slots. If you make a bunch of short tool bits you can have 4 tool bits at the ready with that design.

    Cheers, JR
