Lathe tool post question
On my recently acquired Reed & Prentice lathe is an old style tool holder
(lamp post style??) which really sucks. But the alternative, get a modern stable setup, is a bewildering task. There are many styles and a large swing in prices. My lathe is a 12" and I could spend anywhere from about $100+ (Enco, piston style) to a small fortune for a KDK holder and what I really need to get is an education in the differences. Can anybody here help me with this?? Regards Uwe PS. I do not do production work, rather slow poke experimental tasks. |
