Rest assured there of some of us who watch everyone of your videos. Regardless of the particular subject, they are always informative, and I always learn something from them. Please keep up the good work.

Enjoyed the edutainment video. I have a piston type QCTP but when working in tight quarters I often get out the lantern tool post. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

Thanks for breaking this all down for us. I didn't even know that there were two different clamping methods! looking forward to the tool holder episodes.

[timmienorrie]

A good explanation of the types available. Thanks, Mr Pete. Looking forward to the others in this series.

Thanks Lyle. looking forward to the tool holder vids.

Thanks Mr Pete. I wish I could have seen this several years ago when I was trying to figure out what size I needed for my Star lathe.

Thanks Mr. Pete for the video. A lot of good Information.

Thank you for this video Mr Pete. I now have a better understanding of tool posts.

I’d better not let my Wife see this, I’ve been telling her for years that size doesn’t matter.

Well done Lyle, very informative a good video for Saturday morning and my bacon buddy and coffee.

I bought a Shars wedge type about 6 months ago and really like it. I've owned my Atlas/Craftsman 12/24 more then 20+ years and much prefer the QCTP over the old lantern type. I find the Shars to be much easier and faster getting the tool height correct, and it will be even better when I can afford a couple more tool holders.

Thank you Mr Pete - I got one to minimize the amount of tool changes. John

Great subject for a set of videos! Thank you as always

[oldfister]

I have a 12 inch gun lathe. I really appreciated your help with my decisions to update the lathe

[joecolanjr.]

Good morning Mr.Pete. Love all your videos...very informative. Keep them coming. Have a great weekend!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I was given a Craftsman lathe and I've been thinking about a quick change, but didn't know where to start in deciding what to get. This video was perfect for me!! Thanks for the info on the budget options, that's where I'm at. I like the option for for the tool post and tools, I really don't have much for the lathe. I also got some type of milling attachment for the lathe and I'll have to search on how to use that as well.

Yep, I bought a mini lathe last year and I've spent all kinds of money on the thing. Far and away the most expensive extra I've purchased was the tooling and quick change post. It was about half the cost of the lathe itself, though of excellent quality. The only thing more expensive than a lathe are the tools needed to use the thing.

Great stuff Mr Pete! Thanks for your time and sharing! 👍😎✌️

[harlech]

Great video to watch while eating lunch!

[mark]

Thanks MrPete enjoyed that but I was hoping you would describe how to best determine the size based on various measurements (spindle height above the compound slide maybe?) rather than predominantly relying on finding your lathe model in the catalog. Still, obviously, gave you a thumbs up as I always learn something!
