Ed, on the subject of your quality query, While making the following QCTP toolholder holders I noticed one of the 4 I got from CDCO doesn't fit my expertly machined holders. All of the 7 others I have fit so it's only an "undersize discrepancy". I haven't found any oversize inaccuracies (as yet). The toolholder does fit the both QCTPs so maybe I'm a little too exacting (hahaha)
Today I machined a little Corian I had in "inventory" to make dovetail blocks to hang the QCTP toolholders on.
The work holding set-up is a bit "unconventional" but, what the hay, it's only Corian (left over from the previous owner's kitchen deco)
Here's proof that they fit!
here's another view of the "less than conventional" set up on the mill.
