    That locking mechanism sounds very interesting. I was trying to figure out where the plunger or moving dovetail was in the pictures.

    It is amazing to see the condition of the tool holders, the ones at work end up taking a beating. It is nice to see tools in such beautiful condition.

    Yes, I do have plans for this QCTP Turret. The plans are very detailed and involved with 9 pages of text and pictures plus 16 fully detailed drawings. I will have to get them to Jon for listing on this forum. The vertical allen screws on the corners actuate the locking mechanism for the dovetails. It is actually a cam system which converts vertical movement to horizontal movement. It functions very well and does the job. Thanks for asking!

    Thank you. This quick Change tool post has not seen a lot of work since it was built as I do not own a lathe large enough to suit the tool post at this time.
