Today's latest modification to my desktop lathe is adding a quick-change tool holder. As soon as the upgrade kits arrived, everything was implemented the same day, and I even had time to try some turning :) Of course, there are more exciting upgrades ahead for this lathe, including converting it into a full-fledged CNC machine. But, as I mentioned earlier, that's for the future. While it is already equipped with motors, other components are still on their way. Be patient, everything will be done in due time, and I'll definitely share my progress.For now, let's talk about the tool holder... For its installation, you'll need a screw with an M6 threaded handle, 55 mm in length (I had a 60 mm one on hand, so I trimmed the excess), and a trapezoidal wedge-clamp, which I made and showed you last time. I also made similar wedged clamps with M5 threads last time, and I bought an M5 screw-handle with the minimum length as well. I'll show you what that's for next time
