Hoping someone can help me out.

I have a GH600 on order from Warco, should be here end of November apparently. I'm looking to order a Multifix QCTP probably from Create as they seem to get good feedback. I'd like to get one ordered and need to work out the correct size...

I need the following info please:

1) How many millimeters is the distance between the surface of the top compound slide and the middle of the chuck?
2) How wide is the top compound slide?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Joe

Dave, would you say the Rotagrip are from a different factory as the Create versions?

I'm planning on upgrading to a Multifix style QCTP tool post for my GH600 Warco Lathe.

I have searched the forum and there have been a few threads but not recently.

There seems now to be a few different suppliers with AXA, PWT, Cronos, Amestra to name a few.

I was looking for opinions and feedback on ones to avoid or go for.

Also those of you with them, what size did you go for with what size machine?

Thanks in advance

Brilliant, thanks Brian

Hi All, New guy here.

Thanks for all the valuable info in this thread.

I'm wondering if one of you GH600 owners could give me a height measurement from the machine, drip tray to switch gear as I have a space on my workbench which has a 580mm height clearance between the bench top and the cupboards above and I want to know it it will fit.

Many thanks.

Steve
