Quick change lathe info....palease...

Place I'm at has a 4 position square turrett on their lathe. Sometimes it's not quite enough, especially considering the spots are two left, two right. We have an aloris also, so holding a boring bar is covered, but it would be nice to hold drills, groove tools, cutoff tools, etc... It's cnc, but stopping to change a tool is ok. So I was wondering if there is some fairly rigid quick change gimmic out there for the lathe. Looking in catalogs all I see is quick change boring bars. If you found something like this, please share the info...it would be greatly appreciated.

I believe Dorian also makes a power turret. Their web site sucks, no pictures and very little description, however everything has a list price of $0.00. I would just call and get 1 of everything, something is sure to work for you.
