For cutting operations, it allows the tool to be mounted upside down, reducing vibrations and preventing tool breaks! :lol:

Gday, I really like the look and idea of the QCTP, very cleaver and not hard to make, thanks for sharing, cheers Matty
Thank you Matty! You are also doing a good job on your "Quorn Tool and Cutter Grinder Tool Holder" project! Congratulations!
I like the concept of a QC toolholder that fits into the standard 4 way toolpost. Maybe I am missing something but I cannot see any piston or wedge to lock the two dovetails together. Does this toolholder rely solely on an excellent fit of the dovetails to provide rigidity?
I believe the set screw on the end is used to lock the holder in place, when the set screw is screwed in it pushes the holder out against the dovetail, I’m sure it’s how it works
Thanks for that ttmrj. I had not noticed that screw and it would serve to lock the two dovetails.
Mike
That's right ttmrj! I have used it with just one hole and it works perfectly!
