I have decided that the tool post kinda deserves it's own page, so here goes.
I didn't like the design of the tool post presented in the design that I'm following, so I chose to make something a bit more advanced. For my tool post I chose a four way turret style, which has a quick change facility of sorts in that you release the locking handle (not shown) and you are able to rotate the tool post in 90' increments. This tool post is designed to take 5/16" tool bits.
