A Different QC Toolpost
Was browsing the web last night and stumbled on a different style of QCTP. Thought it might be of interest to some people here.

Looks to be a very simple thing to make - I can see a couple of possible improvements already although they would add some complexity.

Looks like a simplified copy of a multifix. I would have made it with an octagonal center post though, with the hex using a boring bar could be an issue. Octagonal makes a lot of sense actually, how many times would you really need the 9deg steps of the multifix and instead just use either 0, 45 or 90?
