This is the current tool post on the ML10.

It is usable but a QCTP would be nicer. Trouble is, there is only 13mm between the axis of the lathe and the top of the compound. I have some 5/16" HSS blanks but boring bar plus clamp block is around 1/2". I thought I had saved a set of drawings for a DIY multifix tool post that someone posted, but my filing system has defeated me on this one.

So, has any one got a copy of those drawings (or can find the link); alternately, does anyone know of a really compact design of tool post (either commercial or available for metal working types) that may form the basis of something or even just bolt straight on?
