CHINESE QUICK CHANGE TOOLPOST T0 7X14 MINI LATHE

Leaving the Key in the chuck is a sackable offence !!!!. Never give up !!!

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 love it

I have a similar lathe to yours, and I bought the same quick-change post. But I couldn't centre it. it was too low, and I ended up having to make a 10mm shim for the base. It never came up to expectations, and I ended up going back to the original tool post. I 'm planning on saving up for a steel quick change post that hopefully won't have so much play in it, and a lot more mass.

Its aluminium or metal?

This quick change tool post is cheap and it's definitely easy to use. However it's not rigid and has tons of play. Using it for a few years so it was globally good enough!

I brought one if the quick change tool posts, absolutely rubbish. No matter how hard I tightened it, during use it would slightly slip causing the tool to dig into the job.
Went into the bin very quickly and changed back to original tool post.

I just bought the same quick release good timing to find your video 👍🏻

Was wondering how the hell the quick change went on my machine, thought they'd sent me the wrong one for the unit. Glad I found this vid. Well done! Now I don't have to trash my shop in rage. 😁

I purchased this cheap quick change tool post posts i found this a waist of money too much shatter can not use parting tool due to the shatter. I have changed back to my old tool post.

It might help if you had the chuck jaws in the right way round!

You need to change your chuck jaws!

thanks for the video i have the same lathe as your, i bought good cutting tools but they are bit to high to cut corectly maybe this is a good alternative

these tool posts suck , dont buy one , they are made of Ali , they wear out really fast .

오일 안뿌리니 절달면이 흉칙하지

We can supply you this tool post,we are manufacturer in China.

It just shows that you don’t understand lathes and your not an engineer

here's a little tip on saving your nut breaker wrench: flip it over; because you are putting all the pressure on the tooth instead of putting the pressure on the fixed jaw. I feel like I'm committing nut breaker wrench abuse if I put the pressure on the tooth instead of the fixed jaw. it scares me, it really does. LOL

Do you have a link to this lathe only I’m looking for one that size and looks ideal for my needs, only turn small pieces for replica starwars blasters. Just subscribed mate.:-)

you lucky man love one of those but no room in my flat to put one in

wrong jaws, and many many bad and wrong mistakes, hurts just to look at.

Have your chuck jaws backwards.

Do you know what your doing ! Material, Feeds and Speeds?

its junk

Steel turns well between 550-700 rpm on that size of lathe. I use an identical setup and only run above 700 for a very light finish pass. For the price, I have had good luck with that tool post. I do switch between 1/4 and 3/8 tooling depending on what type of stock.

A quick change holder is fantastic, I had a little lathe like that and it was ok as you say. You really need to sort your chuck! You are using the wrong jaws or you have them inserted the wrong way.

Thanks for the video mate.

Bolt your lathe down please

Your using the wrong jaws in the chuck, these are for clamping the outside of your LARGER pieces. Use the other set for smaller items. B

How are you doing with the new tool post? Is it holding up..? Watch Frank Hoos Videos . Thanks for sharing your experience.

Do your tool posts hang over the compound slide?

Be careful. You don't want to have so much sticking out w/o using your tail-stock support. Look up what reasonable feeds and speeds you should be using. I have a much larger lathe and only use inserted tooling for roughing. For fine finish I like to use HSS that I grind to suite. You will get better results if you very carefully set the cutting edge to exactly on center. You have the wrong set of jaws in the chuck! Have fun, wear your safety glasses.

Scottish is good!

Thanks from the 🇺🇸
I know now that I will spend the extra $$$ and get a steel one. I actually have no problem with the original one, it's just a little slower but quite stabile. My mini has the tapered roller bearings in the headstock, I couldn't imagine one with ball bearings. Enjoy your mini my friend.

Can you change the screw for the tool clamp where it allows for height adjustment? Because I need my tool to be way lower

I, too, was delighted with this quick tool change kit, but very quickly returned to the original holder; good luck.

just bought one of these. Was very surprised, that it is made of some kind of aluminum alloy, not steel

It is nut rounder not a nutbraker ;)

NEVER NEVER NEVER leave the chuck key in the chuck!!!

And helps if you turn your chuck jaws around!

Tip: loctite the height-setting studs into the tool holder body!

I got zactly the same qctp! Not good, but better than messing with shims every time you want to change tools.
I plan on upgrading to an AXA size wedge-style tooplost in the near future, should be better still.
I rarely use the compound slide, so I replaced it with a solid steel block, much more rigid setup.

Nae wabble?? The whole fecking lathe wobbles! Get the bloody thing bolted doon hen!

Oh jings! It's just too scary to watch, you really do need to take heed to what folks are sayin' aboot safety issues pal....

Всё ждал когда этому долбодятлу болванка в лоб прилетит. Задорнов прав, ну тупыыыые 😂

What an UTTER Idiot!!! Spending a thousand pounds on a lathe and never bother to learn to properly run a lathe and expect it to turn out good work for you!!! You are really one fucking idiot!!! Go learn how to properly use a lathe!!! IDIOT!!!

Does this guy's elevator go to the top floor?

Nutbreaker is the polite name for that tool :)
