MachEl Swiss Type Quick Change Tool Post Compatible for Direct Mount to Mini Lathes

The MachEl Swiss Type Quick Change Tool Post has garnered a mixed but generally positive reception among customers who use it on mini lathes. Many users expressed surprise at the quality of the tool post given its affordable price point, appreciating that it effectively meets their basic machining needs. Several reviews indicated that minor modifications were required to fit the tool post on specific models, such as the South Bend and Sealey lathes. This involved adjusting the hole size and adding spacers, which while not ideal, suggests that the tool is adaptable for different setups. However, the lack of availability of replacement or additional tool holders has been a significant drawback for some customers. While users have reported satisfaction with the tool holders that come with the kit, the inability to purchase them separately resulted in frustration for those who wished to expand their tools without repurchasing the entire kit. In summary, while the MachEl Swiss Type Quick Change Tool Post is praised for its value and functionality, potential buyers should be prepared for the possibility of modifications and the limitation surrounding tool holders. **
