Taig Lathe Parts...

[Attilio]

I'm from Canada and i am looking to upgrade my Taig Lathe Tool posts to the Ratchet style handles. Does anyone know where i can order them. Preferably from Canada, but U.S. is fine.

Are you talking the Qctp (quick change tool post) ?
Here is one source, its not Canada.

A2Z does sell a quick change tool post for the Taig -- Not sure if that is what you are looking for or not

(I have a couple of Taigs and a Bonnie Klein lathe based on the Taig headstock)

Thanks for the responses, but i just wanted to modify the existing tool post with ratchet handles so i don't have to use the allen keys.

I have used the allen bits (hex insert bits with allen wrench ends) in a tiny rachet handle for changing tool posts. Then I do not have to reshim the bits etc. Makes easier the change of tool posts.
