They are a great asset to the lathe operation, in the shop. I couldn't imagine going without a QCTP.
I remember having to use the old rocker style tool holders in Machinery Repairman School & all the time I was in the Navy. What a PITA to center & line-up a threading tool. Boring bars were held in the old Lantern tool post.
