I've recently purchased a new (old) lathe with a 36cm/14" swing, on my old smaller lathe i had a multifix size A tool post. Am I limiting myself by trying to reuse this smaller toolpost on a bigger lathe and should i bite the bullet, sell the toolpost and buy a larger size.
The toolpost i have now is a genuine multifix one and I would like to keep it, however i only have 3 holders so I would need to invest in extra holders.
In short, get rid of the size A toolpost and buy a bigger size or keep the size A and buy extra toolholders for it?
