Hi Martin, I made a QCTP to Harold Halls design with 12 toolholders, prior to this I made 4 two way toolposts which I use for boring bars and a holder fot dti for use with 4 jaw chuck, these are just as quick to change over as the qctp ones, I made them 2 way rather than 4 way as I could never fit 4 tools satisfactorily in the 4 way,they were made up using stock materials rather than milled from solid, tools set at centre height no problems, go for it I say

An update--- I ran dehumidifier for a couple lf nights for 8 hours on auto setting and a good gallon of water collected and no condensation visible, then reduced hours still on auto for 4 hours per night about 4 pints of water collected, currently still on 4 hours per night but unit set on low collecting approx a pint overnight. There has been no condensation visible on any surface and even the roof panels appear dry and are a light grey colour instead of the previous black. The garage is unheated and up and over has been insulated around its joints with polyurethane foam , the dehumidifier uses a directional fan as well to move air around, the expense of running seems to be low and currently approx 9 or 10p per day. Have yet to try 2 hours per night to see what happens but well pleased so far. The unit cost £ 177 and well worth the cost.

Thanks for some interesting comments gents

To David S 1, no its the wife and grandkids who eat the biscuits

To ndiy thats the one - model TD-Z80

Going to try it on 4 hours for a couple of nights then try on 2hrs

Thanks for all the comments gents

Good comments from Matt and ndiy, I will drop my hours running there are 3 settings 2-4-8 hours, I have used the 8hr initially and expect the cost to drop, who knows 2hours may be sufficient,it was only watching you tube that I learn't that I needed a dessicant type so that saved a mistake. Some time ago I started switching tv-digi boxes etc off at the sockets when we were not using them instead of leaving on stand by, that alone more than covers cost of running the dehumidifier,

Ok Andrew., I'll just buy one less packet of biscuits a day that should cover it, everything costs just depends how much you want it, my electric costs about £1-50 a day
