I use a "mini dixon" style qctp on my 9x20, it works just fine, I think I got it from RDG here in the UK,

The Dixons were a factory option on the 600group lathes so many Colchesters have them, I would recommend this style to any one interested, but am building my own system, to standardise across all of my lathes, using a 34mm post and holders that clamp around this post, 34mm give me adequate support for heavy turning on my Mascot but is small enough to fit on my 9x20, by standardising I get the benefits of being able to have all my attachments fit all of my lathes, so toolpost grinder, graduation marker, toolpost drilling head, etc will suit all the machines.
Best Regards
Rick
