I have enjoyed watching your videos for many years and was always surprised to see the default tool post. Nothing wrong with them (other than the lack of height setting and the limited number of tools), but the quick change is just so much better. Hope you enjoy migrating to yours! I don't think you will go back ;-)
Hi we are RDG TOOLS a Model Engineering tool company based in Mytholmroyd West Yorkshire. We sell new and used tools. We also own the Myford Lathes Brand. We took over Myford around 12 years ago. Both company's are in the same building and we are open to the public. We are still building new Myford lathes and refurbished Myford lathes.
I had to make similar adapters for my EMCO V10. It also uses a pinned shaft rather than a slot for the tool post. The included parting tool is really useless. I found the knurling tool to also be only for light use, a clamp on style works much better. It's nice to have QCTP holders ready and on center, and so many things you can build yourself to fit. I'm sure you have many ideas. Your handle looks very clean - nice work!
I love your videos. The casting, the machining, all of them are great. I get more know how watching you, Tubalcain, n This Old Tony at work/play than I ever did in a college machine tool class. Mosh on, droog! Just watch your hands around that spinning chuck, eh.
Thanks for a great video. I recently purchased a QCTP for my small lathe. I’ve yet to install it though. This has given me incentive to get of my butt and get it installed.
Muchísimas gracias por compartir todo esté conocimiento que de verdad ahora que estoy empezando, me sirven muchísimo, lo mismo que los videos de metal casting at home
I got one similar for my home lathe, now when I use the lathe at my work I’m like wtf this old thing is doing my head in. Also you can just buy the wedge holder and one tool holder and copy the tool holder many times but you will never have enough, I have 16 but need more. Some are made from forklift fork which is very tough but machinable but the ones made from just soft steel bar are still in great shape. The wedge type holders hold the tool holder very solidly and repeatable too
I’ve never used anything but the QCTP. I can’t imagine what a 4-way would be like . About that ball that attaches to your tailstock and holdsMT tooling !
You will really like the QCTP. I was surprised how small those looked compared to my BAX. The handle looks nice and adds speed to changes. I'm not a fan of Banggood. They took my $ but I never got my stuff.
Hi, Bangers are in the hands of the Gods with the virus causing problems at the moment.....I waited 3 months to get a set of HHO burners for my oxy/hydrogen gas generator but they arrived eventually......just keep a civil discourse with their help channel and I'm sure things will work out.
Very nice! It looks like an aloris type? Ive just purchased two extra tool holders (Dixon/dickson type i think) for my new lathe yesterday. I cant wait to try the lathe out. Its a boxford aud (22inch). After 2 years of waiting i get to make chips this weekend!
Some years ago......40 exactly.... I fitted an electric clutch from a car's airconditioner to the counter shaft on my old 1930 Colchester Bantam lathe....it runs on a 12 volt transformer at 2 amps and allows me to keep the 1 HP motor running all the time..........single phase motors don't like being switched on and off too often.
BTW.....the problem you have...... and many other people too...... with the parting tool can be cured by getting one of the plain tool holders and milling the tool holding top and bottom area back to a flat face.......then mount one of those flat blade insert holders against the face with 3 cap screws.....that will allow it to be mounted lower and also much closer to the tool post.......with the slotted crosslide the Myford could benefit from a back tool post.
Maybe they vary but the metal on mine is extremely hard and you would never be able to tap a hole in it or even drill a hole. I do have a solution though, look out for it in a forthcoming video!
@@myfordboy My late father said that the Myford was one of the finest lathes for precision work and he wasn't wrong, I'm surprised you haven't fitted a back tool post as it's always in position and makes life much easier and you already have T slots on the back of the crosslied to fit one. BTW, I think the tool holders are only case hardened so milling one would not be a problem.....something I'll be trying as I've just fitted the AXA model to my old Colchester Bantam, but it would probably be easier to make a complete new tool holder from 4140 without the top and bottom bits and screw a parting tool blade against it as I suggested.......it doesn't need to be hardened as the material is quite tough anyway.
@@aussiepumpkin1558 i recently sold and upgraded my lathe. I don'r remember the hight to centre but 13.5mm sounds about right as i used 12mm tooling sometimes.
Small but beautifully formed!. But adjustable spanner #%&@! Will the thrust washer reduce or improve rigidity or reduce it, please test and report, my theory is reduce.
Hi, myfordboy...great video, thanks. I'm excited to see that at 19.27 you say the holders take 12mm shanked tools, but with hindsight you should have got 10mm's. Does that mean you CAN get 10mm tools, on centre height in thiis QCTP setup on an ML10? Up until recently, the QCTP's on offer at RDG had a warning that max tool shank is 6mm when used on an ML10, because of the restricted centre height above compound slide surface. They now sell one which has an extension so the toolholder overhangs the compound slide, but it's a lot of money, and the extension doesn't seem a good idea for ridgidity. Main question is therefore; how thick are the bottom flanges of the toolholders? Cheers, Al

Hi, I see you have oil/grease cups on your bearings that are instead of the usual grease nipples on a 10. Do you use grease or oil and where did you obtain the cups please?
They are wick feed oilers and were standard equipment. My lathe has no desperate headstock bearings, the spindle runs in the cast iron headstock. I use the recommended Nuto 32 oil.
I probably won't use it. The knurls are very fine and I prefer a clamp type that puts less stain on the bearings. The holders has a space to use with a different tool though so won't be wasted.
@@myfordboy yea there's three holes tapped and grub screws in a triangular pattern around the tool post stud, I was wondering if it were possible to attach new qctp but got it done thanks to your drawing so again thanks very much for your help and advice David take care brother 👍🏻
@@myfordboy Watch out it's not the crappy piston type that sells for a lot less and has aluminium holders.....the wedge type is dearer but is the only one worth having.
Its not $15 like I had thought aswell! They will send only one toolholder 001 like they have done with me. I also read it happen to another on their review page. After purchasing the link to the product from my order history has changed price/ details to around $60 or there about. Now I have to chase them up.... waste of time, seems like bait n switch.

Kudos for using the thrust bearing on the collet clamp....Nice touch...
I got my QCTP from Myfords in Beeston years ago...I live nearby.

Mmmm YES ... got one of these for S7B a year ago .... they are ABSOLUTELY
fantastic ...
Never mind! I just saw your 3D print tool holders , very nice
Thanks my teacher.
Congratulations from Brazil
Love watching your work mate. Although, it did feel a little bit cruel making the old toolpost come back for one last job, to ensure its own demise!
You can't get sentimental about cold iron when It's been superseded.
Noooo! I've just bought a 4 way Myford tool post as you've got one. Looks like I'm going to be changing that then. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍
You will be happy with the 4 way so do not worry.
@@myfordboy That's good to know. Thanks for your reply too. I'll keep you posted. Cheers.

There are 2 types, wedge and piston. It seems most prefer the wedge type.
Good to see you, let have some more videos!
Boxford is a good lathe.
Just a thought, mill away the bottom of parting tool holder where it fowls top slide and it may drop down enough to be on centre.
I thought of that but the metal is very hard and would need to be surface ground. A file won't touch it!
@@myfordboy Ah, that's that then.
I milled a couple of my tool holders down with a insert end mill, it was a bit tough but it worked perfectly.
Fantastic! Do you have a video of how you made the clutch for the ml10?
Not specifically but you can see it in detail here ua-cam.com/video/FpisXN4anGQ/v-deo.html

Awesome. Now to make some extra tool holders for it!
They are so cheap from the link given it's not worth the trouble..
They are beautifully machined from a very hard metal
@@myfordboy even better then! I'll have to check it out. I tried making one for my Logan. Took way to long. Plus I couldn't find one that fit mine.
@@myfordboy Mostly a case hardened chrome vanadium tool steel so they only have a thin case to brake through.

A job well done...
DANIEL. NICE.
I have exactly the same on my ML10. such a good purchase
I found the same issue with the parting tool holder. do you have a link for your current/old version. i need a better solution.
My old parting tool is a 1/16 x 5/16 blade in a home made holder.
@@myfordboy thanks
Gday Brendan ive got a ml10 .with topslide i have 13.5mm to center what was yours
@@aussiepumpkin1558 i recently sold and upgraded my lathe. I don'r remember the hight to centre but 13.5mm sounds about right as i used 12mm tooling sometimes.
So with the new qctp, you can use bigger cutting tools than 6mm? Long time subscriber keep up the good work thanks David 👍🏻
You can fit up to 12mm tools but be sure the centre height will not be too high.I would say 10mm would be best.
I've also got a ML10 could the tool holder not be made larger to accommodate the original bolt on the myford? 🤔
@@paulcolliton3511 The original bolt is too short and wrong diameter.
@@myfordboy thanks for the advice👍🏻keep up the good work 👏🏻
Small but beautifully formed!.
But adjustable spanner #%&@!
Will the thrust washer reduce or improve rigidity or reduce it, please test and report, my theory is reduce.
The thrust bearing is to prevent it binding and gauling as you tighten it against the collet...A nice touch TBH.

The flange is 10mm thick. I am using my 6mm tools without any problems. 8mm would be the ideal size.
You can see the dimensions on the link I gave.
@@myfordboy Thanks for the info.
Can you send me the details of where you purchased the quick change post please.
The link is in the video description but here it is again. i don't know if the discount code is still active. ban.ggood.vip/UBXO (code:BG320678，12%off)
It's like Abom79 and Keith Rucker in miniature.

Nice job
How do the Machfit shanks and carbide inserts compare to other brands?
I have not tried them. I like tips with a 0.2mm radius and I don't think they do them.
any chance I could get a copy of the drawing? I would like to do the same to my super 7
email me for a copy. The post for ML7 could be different than ML10
Welcome to the twenty first century :)
Hey buddy, watch your mouth. I'm using a lantern style tool post. Lol. (Change gears too) :-)
Very nice
If I make a new tool post, do I need to black my thumb nail as well ?????
essential.
Hi again David would it be possible to get a copy of the drawing you made for the new post?
Of course. Let me have your email.
@@myfordboy thank you so much very much appreciated Pal, I'll be in touch 👍🏻
Ha, just installed mine this weekend! I was really on the hedge about the cnurling tool, how do you find it?
I probably won't use it. The knurls are very fine and I prefer a clamp type that puts less stain on the bearings. The holders has a space to use with a different tool though so won't be wasted.
Gday mate just wanna know was your center hight 13.5 mm and what size tooling do you need to use cheers
Toolholder will take 12 mm tools. For my lathe 10mm would be the max. I use 6mm tools and 8mm. Not sure which centre height you are referring to.
@@myfordboy cheers im refering to the distance from the top of the compound to the center of the work. Mine is 13.5mm (new to this )
About the same on mine.
@@myfordboy how do you fit a tool holder and a tool in 10.2mm? I could be lost lol. How thick is the bottom of the 250-001 tool holder?
Great vid too ive gotta say
Hi David, what are the 3 grub screws for in the top slide do you know?
Standard feature of all lathes and milling machines. Used to adjust the gibs to give the slides smooth movement with no rock.
@@myfordboy sorry I didn't explain myself well I meant under the tool post
I have 3 tapped holes in mine that were used when I had the 4 way toolpost. They are not drilled as standard I needed to drill and tap myself.
@@myfordboy yea there's three holes tapped and grub screws in a triangular pattern around the tool post stud, I was wondering if it were possible to attach new qctp but got it done thanks to your drawing so again thanks very much for your help and advice David take care brother 👍🏻
