Nice video. QCTP is the only way to go. The guy that was giving you grief about cost and changing angles must not have used a QCTP very much. Having to reset the heigth-centering- of a tool post every time you change gets to be a real pain compared to a QCTP.

Yup, VF4D, trying to get 6 v4's lined up for a project, lol! haven't spent much time on the garden tractor forum lately, seem to have more fun here!
Cheer's, Neil.

P.S. pm me and I will reveal the secret to making them start easy!

I finally bolted the A2Z CNC QCTP onto the Taig the other night. I haven't looked at what could be causing it, but the surface finish and precision was horrible. I know I had the tool height set correct. It almost seemed as if the tool was allowed to flex??? Pretty weird. I'll do some measuring of the precision on the post/mount and report back.
