Installing a Quick Change Tool Post on the Mini Lathe - Scraping Included!

Sofort etwas Gescheites genommen. Finde ich gut!
Damit dürfte sich der Wert der Maschine gleich fast verdoppelt haben! :-D

Nice work

OMFG I HAD NO IDEA THEY MADE THEM SO SMALL!!!! I NEED ONE RIGHT F'N NOW!!! I cannot find this product on their website, can you provide a link to the product page please?

Thanks for sharing 👍

Tolle Arbeit!

Hello! can you update the lathe to have transverse advance? and another to be a box with metric threads without having to change the pinions every time?

I made a myself quick change tool post one. I like this but if you need some news o mire holders, you gonna buy. I’m my case I made a QCTP and is very strong. Check my page just for understand what I talking about 😉

Nicely done!

I go back and forth on wanting a Multi-Fix style tool post like this one. I researched all kinds of tool posts, and eventually went with an Aloris-style wedge-type tool post, thinking that it would be much easier to make custom tool holders. But I can't deny that the versatility of the Multi-Fix is super appealing to me, in spite of the more "complicated" tool holders (and I have yet to make any custom tool holders for the wedge-type). The ability to rotate the tool post to multiple angles, and return to a reliable zero is really awesome.

As always: nice work! Great upgrade to your lathe, but that's also because you took a lot of effort to make it work well. Nice work on scraping the compound, I didn't see that one coming. Looking forward to your next video!

Very nice work indeed.

Very nicely done; AXA did you a real favour there.

Really interesting to see this, I had no idea multifix posts were available that small. Was a bit confused at first while searching, because I thought AXA was the same as Aloris AXA but realised it's not 😁

Ich wusste gar nicht das AXA immer alles verschenkt. Muss da auch mal anrufen....

Thanks for sharing!

I didn't even know that such small multifix toolposts were available. From a quality manufacturer like AXA I suspect they are the better part of the cost of a new mini-lathe.

Oh my gosh...something not made in China! Looks very nice, I may look about for them...I USE AXA (sized) tool holders, haven't heard of AXA the company.

Love your channel. Thanks for showing how you change the gears on your lathe to cut threads. I have a small lathe and could not figure out how to read the change gear settings until now.
Cheers from South Africa.

I would very much like to buy the same model QCTP you have for the same model lathe I have. I went to your link of AXA to try and purchase a set of this QCTP kit to no avail. I couldn't seem to find the model. Can you point me in the right direction? Also, I'm in the USA.

Hey! You didn't show it in use! Let's see it make some chips, and some quick tools changes!
:)

Great work as always, you should check out Clough42’s channel he just got the same tool post just a few sizes bigger 👊🏼👍🏼

I bought the wedge type with 4 tool holders as a bargain package from Banggood for my lathe and then bought 4 more tool holders on EBAY......the problem was they are not compatible as far as fit is concerned..........2 of the 4 were OK but the other 2 were too loose to tighten up but as they were so cheap on EBAY I decided to experiment by packing the dovetail faces with 1mm strips to see how much rework was required.
I took the path of Tig welding 1mm packer strips along the edges of the faces of the dovetails on the holders and then polishing them up......this worked perfectly and for any future purchases this is the path I would have to take if they didn't tighten up.
With hindsight I think I would have gone for the T37 type sold in India on EBAY which are as cost effective as the wedge type.

You definitely need to get away from the carbide and get some HSS tooling. The sounds your lathe is making with that tooling are horrendous.

Well when you get a nice tool post for free it makes the rest of use jealous.😡

all men R not created equal.

Nice video!
The things I learned starting scraping is that the standard sandvik scraper is much to stiff. Mill some slots in the middle will make it ‘weaker’, makes bending it a bit more easy. Which helps with applying pressure.
And the radius of the standard blade is quite large. R40 or R60 is a nice radius to start with.
Imo

Looking forward to the next video

👍👍👍

But how would Axa feel if Multifix started making Axa style tool post... :D :D :D

⭐🙂👍!

Love your channel and everything you've done with your lathe so far. I'd love to see a video on your tooling choices. What you use and why you chose it. I'm also curious what your training and background are. Very impressive skills I must say :) You've inspired me to want to duplicate what you've done with a mini-lathe of my own.

That is a nice upgrade, I have swiss made Aa on my Schaublin 102 and while original it feels a little small on that machine, for this one it looks right.

This is awesome but oh my god can you tweak the volume for those loud operations 😱😱😱

I'ld be happy too if I got a free tool post, LOL.

I would be interested to know what lathe this is.

I really don't understand taking the effort to scrape the surface without bothering to control it for planarity or even parallelism with the slideways. To then put a paper washer on it, well - it's just a total waste of time, isn't it?

Superbly machined! Wish I had one set for my minilathe :-)

Pretty sweet improvement.

Could you not just turn down the radius on the flange nut a little bit for clearance?

Could have just bought a quality lathe in the first place!

Touching the chuck with tool holder is much faster alignment.

I didn't find the tool post on their website.

why is your lathe so loud....something doesn't sound right

Nice upgrade.

I want one! But I can’t find it on their site.

Great work.I like your way of action.Thank you.

Isn't AA toolpost too small even for mini lathe?

Seems AXA tool posts are really hard to find. I followed your link and the website doesn't show them, or maybe I just missed it. Great video!

Very nice work. What tolerances do you normally work with when using your QCTP?
