Hi everyone
At work we are about to covert our big manual lathe (1200mm swing x 4M Bc) to cnc. We are currently deciding what to do for a toolpost, we have ruled out using a turret as it is too big and will restrict the tooling we can use. our current plan is to use a quick toolpost, and we would like to know what other people with similar sized lathes use or if anyone has any suggestions. Also we are looking for a quick change toolpost that has holders that will take a tool that is 75mm across flats we are having trouble locating one.
cheers
Ash
