I often adjust the position of the tool, its easier than rotating the topslide, which involves loosening 2 sometimes awkward-to-get-to screws. I already have the lever and it has never got in the way. Anyway, the point was that the OP didn't have a nut but had the lever. Rod

10 forum posts	Well I ground the top of the tool down and that solved the problem. Here are a few pictures of before (using the old broken tool post) and the new QCTP. (Sorry about the picture quality) Before: http://i.imgur.com/Yva51lh.jpg This one looks like I have been trying to face it with a hammer. It was also pretty convex in shape. After: http://i.imgur.com/ZUCvC5E.jpg A nice flat clean face! Edited By Kane on 29/03/2013 15:00:56 Edited By Kane on 29/03/2013 15:03:42
