Has anyone had any problems fitting a modern tool post to the slide carriage, any issues you've come across and if alls working fine which brand and type did you use?

I would just like to say all the help I've received on has been 1st class and has helped me and hopefully other people starting out in this field. teeth 2

I've used for several years a Bison (Tool mex) Type 4414 48 x 37 some times named T001 or S001 with a suffix of M or not.. They are a direct fit on the top slide of ML7's and Super 7's.They are expensive but top quality.
