I like my QCTP for the convenience, but totally agree with you and others that there is a rigidity penalty to pay. I don't find it a limiting factor on my lathe, but I intend to install a more powerful motor. When i do that, there's a good chance that the toolpost will become an issue. Great entertainment as always.👍🙂

Hi Rustinox. You are obiusly loving Your shaper when You are using in almost every video. But I can see that the chips is flying everywhere, perhaps right in Your face, and on the floor. So I suggest You place a small box in front of the shaper to catch all the chips that ends up on the floor. Another suggestion is to extend the front and side walls of that box so it is above the face of the table of the shaper. I like your wideos a lot like many moore. From John in Sweden.

Nice work as usual! Quick question. When you cut the two pieces in the shaper at the same time, why did you align the smaller piece first and then the taller piece? I would have thought you would clamp them in the vise the other way around, cutting the taller piece first and transitioning down to the smaller piece. I thought the way you did it would put a big strain on the cutter when it went from a small cut to a big cut. I always try to learn something from experienced machinists like yourself so I’m sure there must have been a reason. Thanks in advance.

@Rustinox it can still rock a bit when these surfaces are not flat. Making them (perfect) flat will add to descreasing chatter. You can take a simple candle and blacken one surface and rub it against the other surface to get a really good idea how well they mate/fit. This technique is used for precision fit in making guns or pistols. Doei!

This brings back memories xD I never understood the hype for quick change tool posts - four ways are much more compact and ridgid in the model engineering sizefield. Little tip: Machine away the first few threads on the tool clamping screws - as you keep clamping and unclamping different bits, the end will flare out making a fully threaded bolt hard to remove.

I always preferred the 4 way turret tool post type that you made here, over the quick change Aloris sytem for my the home shop . The home shop lathes are usually 11" or smaller swing. The quick change Aloris types tool load is all on one side and unbalanced for heavy turning. They are great for Large heavy duty lathes for heavy industrial multi tool oerations such as the 16 & 18" South Bend's I had in the toolroom in industy.💯
