Claude, good job (as usual). I'm really enjoying my QCTP (thanks again Tom), I was able to deterrmine that it's size (BXA) is compatible with my 16 x 60 lathe as well as the 12x36 on which it's presently mounted.
I plan to make my own for the 16 x 60 when I get through with some of the more pressing jobs on "The List". At that time I'll try and do a mass production of toolholders so there will be plenty and all interchangeable.
Claude, did you make the pistons of different length so that the handle will project at the correct angle in both the "turning" mode and the "boring/facing" mode?
