Self Locking Lathe Tool Height Adjustment

[hersch_tool]

If the tool height is such that the locking screw faces the post, do you have access for Allen key?

This is definitely the most asked comment on the video, and a great question.
The short version is, no it's a design flaw for sure.
However, it's not a show stopper.
You can just lift up the tool holder to get access and tighten, or add a washer to clock it in a different location, etc.
But the long version is, I'm gonna use these initial 3 for a little while taking note of this and any other issues I notice and then make a version 2.0 that addresses all of the issues in the future.
I already have some ideas for the next version.
Thanks very much for the watch and comment
