Small lathe tool post holder
Permalink  
 

Hi all, bought a 9 X 20 lathe and got it home to discover that it needs a new tool post holder.  I'm interested in a quick change but would settle for anything I can find that would work.   On a suggestion from a friend I tried the "Tool Shop" in Preston but he was an A$$, no repeat business there.  If I can't find something here I'll bite the bullet and do the BusyBee thing.

 

Gimme a shout or Txt 519-504-2028

 

Thanks

BamBam

Try Cardon tools in Perth
Sorry you will have to look them up.

Cardon tools is great to deal with, lots of neat used stuff too – see the link. However, when I needed a quick change tool post holder for my little Atlas 6x18 lathe a few years ago, I dealt with Little Machine Shop in Pasadena, California. They carry several brands including A2Z which are made in the USA. Even with shipping and exchange they were cheaper than anyone else, even the Chinese versions. Mind you, at the time it was on sale and the exchange rate was a lot better than today but they had everything I needed and were very good to deal with. With today’s exchange rates you might be better off with Busy Bee or some other supplier here at home.

Here’s some links to what they have for a 9X20 lathe, from their website.
