Quick Change Toolpost for Storebro
#39
I won't bore you with every toolholder I make. This one is a bit different, so I'm adding it to the thread. I've wanted to try a swing-up threading tool for some time, so it made sense to make one for this lathe. I have two sets of 16mm carbide cutters, so I used one of them to make this tool.
   

When necessary, the cutter can be lifted completely out of the way. In normal usage, of course, it only swings up enough to clear the thread on the return trip.
   

I now have five toolholders made, plus three dovetailed blanks waiting for me to decide what sizes and types I need next.

If you can't get one, make one.
