All-steel, wedge type quick change tool post set for Atlas/Craftsman 6" lathes.

All working parts are hardened and ground steel. It is completely sealed for maintenance-free operation. LEARN MORE

This set includes the tool post and the following tool holders: (It will hold turning tools with shanks from 1/4" to 1/2".)

2 - #1 Turning & Facing
1 - #2 Boring, Turning & Facing
1 - #4 Heavy Duty Boring will hold both 3/8 and 1/2 boring bars
1 - #7 Universal Parting Blade @ 4-degree (for 1/2" cut-off blade)

It is the perfect size for bench lathes. The tool holders have been designed specifically to work on lathes that have limited distance from the top of the compound to the center of the lathe.

This tool post mounts with a T-slot nut, which is included.

*Note* The t-slot nut provided with this post fits most 6" Atlas and Craftsman lathes to the best of our knowledge, but we have come across a few instances where it was not the right size. Included on the bottom of the QCTP is a threaded blank that can be milled to fit a variety of slots.

Ellie A. ★★★★★

The wedge locking mechanism on this 0XA set is noticeably solid, and it completely eliminated the tool chatter I used to get with my old lantern post. Installation was straightforward on my 6" lathe, and the steel construction feels built to last.

Edward G. ★★★★★

I was surprised how much smoother my cuts got after swapping to this wedge type tool post. The all-steel construction makes it feel rock solid, and I haven't had any chatter since the first test pass.

Carter U. ★★★★★

The wedge lock engages with a solid thud and the tool holder doesn’t budge even on heavy cuts. The all-steel build feels way more rigid than the old lantern post I was fighting with, and it’s made threading a lot less nerve-wracking.
