      Since I built the QCTP , I've discovered a whole new set of   
   capabilities for my 72+ year old PowerKraft lathe . I already had a 1 hp   
   motor on it , because it was free ...   
      It started with a boring bar clamp post , and it is so much more   
   rigid than the lantern . Less singin' and a nicer finish . Then I made   
   the QCTP , and got a few 5/16" shank indexable cutters . I can cut a   
   bigger chip faster with a better finish in most cases now .   
      So I just ordered a 7 holder set of indexable boring bars and   
   threading  and cutoff/grooving tool holders . And a supply of inserts ,   
   because sure as night follows day I'm going to tear up a few while I'm   
   learning how to use this stuff .   
      Wish me luck !
