Yes - the piston on these pulls the tool holder into the tool post. I'll take some pictures of the fit tomorrow and post them. Dave J does have some pictures of the fit in his post on the ones that he made. He finished the v grooves on his by tilting the head of his mill. However, I'm sure they could be done using a sine bar to get them set up accurately.
I've sent Dave a PM to see if his holders are the same size as mine (S3), in case he still has the drawings. If he does, that would save time and be very helpful given that he would have checked the fit. I certainly am not going to put the QCTP into my suitcase and take it half way around the world and back!
I had thought of using a chunk of MDF and trying one out to see if it fits OK. Could probably use it to hold a dial indicator afterwards
