Place I'm at has a 4 position square turrett on their lathe. Sometimes it's
not quite enough, especially considering the spots are two left, two right.
We have an aloris also, so holding a boring bar is covered, but it would
be nice to hold drills, groove tools, cutoff tools, etc...
It's cnc, but stopping to change a tool is ok.
So I was wondering if there is some fairly rigid quick change gimmic out
there for the lathe. Looking in catalogs all I see is quick change boring
bars.
If you found something like this, please share the info...it would be
greatly appreciated.

At one time KRF sold prints for these. The only part that is
hard to make is the index base.

I believe Dorian also makes a power turret. Their web site sucks, no
pictures and very little description, however everything has a list
price of $0.00. I would just call and get 1 of everything, something
is sure to work for you.
