I've decided to add a piston type quick change toolpost from Chronos (same as the Arc Euro one) to my Bantam 800 (MK1); the problem is that the current toolpost is retained by a large diameter clamping bolt (looks to be about 1
1/4" or 32mm diameter) threaded into the top slide and there is no obvious way to mount the new toolpost, i.e. no T slots. I thought about machining a threaded plug to go into the existing hole and locking it in somehow and mounting the new toolpost to that; any other suggestions? Martin- posted
