WTB Quick Change Tool Post for Hightower Lathe

[JC]

If anyone has one of these that they would part with please let me know. Or knows a source for a new one.

Chris has none and apparantly the new supply is currently dry or I would just buy one.

Thanks,

JC

I know that this doesn't do you any good. Quite a few Moons ago, there was a fellow on here that made a bunch.

I bought one and a ton of tool holders. Was made excellent and never had a problem with it.

Can't remember his name and if he is still about these parts.

Maybe he will find you if he is still around.

The wedge is a much better design anyhow.

Is the Wedge the one at the little machine shop?

Yes. It's nice because it pulls the tool holder down and towards the body when you tighten it. The other design just pushes out. That's functional but it's not nearly as nice as locking with wedge mechanism.
