It's not worth it. in Power Tool Parts & Accessories

At first I wanted to try this quick change kit because it is my first mini lathe. After receiving the post and quick change tool blocks I wasn't impressed. None of the blocks fitted properly, there was such a large gap between the tool blocks and the quick change rack that nothing was stable. I have ordered other tool blocks from ebay and they fit much better if filed a bit to allow them to slide. I got tired of playing around with this kit and decided to order a solid steel kit. I received the steel kit today and am really impressed with it. None of the cutting tools flex at all, the quick release blocks fit perfectly and are extremely secure when tightened. There are big price differences between steel and aluminum sets. The steel kit costs about 4 times as much, but it's worth it. If I had known that from the start I would have just ordered a steel kit and not spent money on that aluminum kit with all the extra quick change units that I received. This is what I got and really worth it, everything fits perfectly and has no flexibility.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Almost never
