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.......

I saw them on the website. I wonder if they will be doing the larger 250-100 wedge type?

I will certainly be buying the 250-100 wedge type and several holders if they become available.

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.

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.
