NEW Original MYFORD Dickson type tool posts & holders

Joe,

Just to add, like KWIL earlier, I've checked three of my toolholders, from both earlier delivery and the latest, and all have 0.225" thick bottom ledge. Incidentally the centre height on my ML10 is greater than the nominal 3 1/4" at 3.3125" so might be worth checking yours (if you haven't already, of course).

Thanks Robin.

Yes, my ML10 is a smidgeon over nominal at 3.5/16" centre height but the ruling factor for a QCTP is that the spindle centre line is only 1/2" above the topslide surface. The practical maximum tool size for a Myford/A & R QCTP is therefore 0.500 - 0.225 = 0.275", just over 1/4". Anyway, I'm content with that and at a pinch can use 5/16 bits by grinding them down to centre height.

Just incase anyone is interested..

Just bought a tool post, four holders, key etc from A and R. precision.

I am like all others commenting in this strand really pleased with the buy

At £90 for the lot it's a real bargain.

I told Darren he could sell 'em for England at that price and quality

Geoff Manchester uk

Are these still available

See this thread from a few days ago

Just a quick question, would these holders fit the original or the HBM dickson copy?

Michael W

They certainly fit the original Myford Dickson toolpost.

Anybody want to buy an unused tool post & 6 tool holders? Quality made in England as discussed in this thread above,

Tony
