I use a Dickson (Myford) type on my mini lathe, it is usable on the top slide (new mounting post necessary) but much better when fitted direct to the cross slide via a raising block. These machines are not that solid and it's one thing less to wobble. Old post but a good 'un.

Be aware that on another thread a shortage fo toolholder is being reported. Also must say that as a beginner you don't need a QCTP. Even as an expert you don't. If you are in a tearing hurry beccause of all your trips to London it might help. It is for making quick changes in a jobbing shop not for improving your machining. No-one needs a QCTP but once you have used one for a job that needs multiple tool changes, you will bless it every time you use it. Mine is the most useful accessory I ever bought or made
