Hey guys I have a cue smith deluxe that I do some smaller things on in my shop as my South Bend is my work horse. I want to add a quick change tool post to it. A couple that I liked at are sold out. Curious what you guys with the same lathe are using. Pics help. Thanks!

Not sure where you're looking but eBay has a box full of them listed.
Amazon and ebay are my go to places for just about anything these days. If it can't be found there, I'll broaden the search.

Yea I saw a bunch on both sites. I just didn’t wanna get any junk. That’s why I figured I’d see what people have and or experienced.

OXA 250-000 wedge type QCTP from Ebay. You will need to make a spacer to mount the holder to your cross slide. 1/2 inch thick is about perfect. For the 250-007 angled cut off tool I had to grind off the lower dovetails to be able to get cutoff tool on center when extended 1 inch.

That is a nice heavy duty quick change. But what caught my eye was what looks like you may have added digital read out too the lathe.

If you are referring to my lathe, yes I did. It is a 36" one. Works pretty good and easy for cutting off rings, or removing a specific thickness amount
