Thread: QUICK CHANGE TOOL POST
23/04/2013 16:19:08

I have just made a version of Harold Hall's QCTP for my mini lathe with a couple of modifications.

I used two locating keys and a lock nut for the height adjustment instead of a grub screw.

One problem I found, was that. because of the extra overhang, there was more judder unless the top slide was wound fully in, this may apply to all QCTPs.

The other problem was parting off, the tool jambed and broke the operating piece, I have now remade this using 12.5mm steel and it is much stronger.

Apart from this it seems a useful bit of kit.

Regards Clive

I have nearly completed my first locomotive, it is ERIC from Steam trains in your garden. The gas burner is a10mm brass tube with fine slots cut into it and one end sealed. This fits into a 19mm tube running lengthwise through the boiler. The burner lights well outside the boiler, but will not light in place, the flame coming out of the end of the boiler tube in the smokebox. Does anyone have any experienceof this or suggestions. Thanks Clive

I use flexible magnetic self adhesive strip attatched to all my parallels. It works for me.

I read recently on the web that kettle descaler can be used for pickling. Has anyone tried this and does it work
