The Quick Change Tool Post needed some improvements to make it more stable, and easier to tram. I made this mounting shaft, with a custom nut and washer, and it has seriously improved how well the QCTP works.

This toolpost is an official Proxxon accessory for the PD 250/e lathe, and I consider it indispensable when it comes to setting the tool height. However it lacks a few features that a decent Quick Change Tool Post really needs. In this video my main focus is to make the post more stable when adjusting the angle, or tramming it perfectly parallel to the lathe axis.

Machines:
Proxxon PD 250/e Lathe (24002)
