phase II tool post for model B

[josie]

What mods need to be made to put a 100 series Phase II tool post on a porper model B? I know you need to machine the nut that they provide but is there any other mods needed? Specifically I am wondering if you need to add a spacer the get the height correct on the tool post, if so how much of a spacer.

Thanks for the info.

I added a spacer off the top of my head I want to sy it was around 0.500 thick. Not positive on that. I can measure it tonight if you need it. Only thing I wish I did was add a lever to get the toolpost off without a wrench. Sometimes it is just in the way.

Thanks for the reply. Looking at the measurements for one it looks like a spacer is needed. I am sure with the height adjustment of the tool holder you can have a spacer around 1/2"and fine tune the height with the adjuster.

This is correct.
