Quick Change Toolpost question
Hello all:
About four years ago I bought a SB 14" which came with a Haidao 250-222 quick change toolpost, wedge type. What I know about QC toolposts is what little I've been able to glean from ten minutes searching RCM archives. So: 1. Where can I purchase additional tool holders? Preferably El Cheapo brand, I'm not terribly picky. This is, presumably, a 200 series, and other 200-series holders fit it, correct? 2. I seem to be having some difficulty with keeping the post screwed down properly. At first there's about two threads that show above the top nut. But as I loosen and tighten the nut to change the angle, the threaded stud seems to work its way down, slowly. And it takes more than a half-turn of the wrench to loosen the nut completely. I've tried removing nut and the washer under it, and there is another "nut" that appears to take a spanner wrench with about 1/8" tips (which tool I do not have). I've tried tightening it with a makeshift tool but it doesn't appear to have done much good. Do I need to get the right tool and tighten the thing properly, or does the problem lie elsewhere? Thanks for any help, P'rfesser |
