I have a slightly older one of those and it is indeed auto shutoff only.

 The last of the T2 tool holders arrived this morning , the post man loves me  ![[Image: P1140309_zpsqi0iqayc.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/P1140309_zpsqi0iqayc.jpg.html) I picked up a second T2 Tool post to replace the ye oldie 4 way on the Student Lathe . ![[Image: P1140312_zpsejho6kso.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/P1140312_zpsejho6kso.jpg.html) ![[Image: P1140313_zps1jib4slc.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/P1140313_zps1jib4slc.jpg.html) This way bought Colchester lathes can share the same tooling .

Nice score Rob but I think you will actually need to take the old one off first. Mounting the Dickson toolpost behind it won't be of much benefit.

I have a vague and dim recollection that when I took the four way off one of my Colchester Students many years ago to fit a Dickson, the spigot for the four way was part of the casting of the top slide. Rather than wreck it I made a new top slide.

Rather than wreck it I made a new top slide. Got to ask Andrew , why would anyone ever want to put a ye oldie 4 way tool post back on , did you ? I bet the old top slide is just sitting in a draw some where just taking up space . Mine will just be modified to take the Dickson tool post . Saving time,space and materials Rob

The four way has a lot more rigidity than the Dickson which is quite a cantelever

All the machine shops I have been in only the larges lathes still use an old style shim up tool post . So did yours ever go back on ? |
