72 forum posts 6 photos | Treated meself to one of Arceurotrade's new 000 QCTP. These are the sliding wedge type. I bought mine for a Sieg C4, i'd had a mini lathe QCTP before, but, they are not very good!
Very impressed! Very precise location, far more positive and accurate than my "piston" type 2 on the Crusader! Only problem is, I now need to buy more holders....... |

550 forum posts 77 photos | I saw them on the website. I wonder if they will be doing the larger 250-100 wedge type? |

12 forum posts 1 photos | I will certainly be buying the 250-100 wedge type and several holders if they become available. |

![]() 6956 forum posts 229 photos | I found the website rather short on the information needed to make a decision on the size needed for a particular lathe. However it is good to see the low priced versions of the wedge type have made it at last to this side of the pond. |

I found the website rather short on the information needed to make a decision on the size needed for a particular lathe. Hi Bazyl, You are right. Dimensions are provided by clicking on the Specification tab. However, beside the mini-lathe, no advice given for use on other lathes. This is a limitation which we are finding difficult to address for various reasons. For example, according to the dimensions table, the stud in the middle of the 000 is 10 x 1.5mm trhread. it is a direct fit for mini-lathes which have the same size stud fitted to them. So reasonably easy retrofit for many people who have a mini-lathe with a 10x1.5mm thread stud.We dont know how much of a 'straight forward' fit this is for use on other lathes,....which is why we have given the dimensions, for a new buyer to review and ascertain its sutiability for their lathe. For some it may be a direct retrofit, and for others they may need to modify the stud and or add/change the packer below the post. If and when we know for sure about a retrofit/suitability with or without modification for a different lathe, we may add the details to the 'more' section of that product. Ketan at ARC. |
