Well the stars aligned and I had a few and the wife's blessing at the same time so I recently bought a Harbor Freight 8x12. I know it is Harbor freight and not old iron but it for in my available space and budget...and I couldn't anything else that would fit the bill. I am totally new to using a lathe and very slowly trying to learn as much as I can. The first upgrade I decided to attempt was a quick change tool post. I purchased the to tomarch set from litte machine shop that their chart said would work with some modifications. I got the old tool post of the bolt on the slide but for the life of me could not remove the bolt from the slide. I tried searching for ideas but did not find much. So I am hoping someone here has some insight. Any tips or advice would be great, especially for addi,g the qctp or really anything 8x12 related. Thanks in advance!
