I have just finished making my tangential tool holders for my lathe. I'm really impressed with how they work. I think these will be used for the majority of my turning and facing. So with that in mind, and centre height adjustability built in, I don't think I have the need for a qctp. I'm thinking of also removing the compound slide for extra rigidity. So will need to regain the 50mm height lost by removing it. What should I use to make it, and where can I get steel or cast iron over 50mm thick I could machine flat to 50mm? Anyone got anything suitable they could sell me?
Thanks, Paul.
