I was just wondering if anyone who has a lathe capable of using a

My feeling on this matter, without knowing too much, is that lantern
toolposts are obsolete and quick change is the way to go, and there is
never a reason to use these old style tools.

Would there be anyone who disagrees with this.

I don't even have a lantern toolpost and
I've never missed it.
