      I've been using a lot of carbide tooling on my 10" Logan since I   
   built the QCTP ... but I'm not getting rid of the lantern toolpost and   
   HSS stuff because thewe are just some things it works better on .

   I happened upon a Multifix set while searching for a used dovetail type, and   
   like it very much for HSS because of the rotation in small steps. It's easy   
   to set a hand ground bit to both turn and face. Extra Chinese tool holders   
   fit the Swiss post perfectly. Size A is right for my 10" SB. I haven't   
   needed the more compact lantern post in years, a bolt and shim setup is more   
   versatile for turning a ball or socket with the compound.
