      Hi all,

      I have a Chester Machine Tools DB10VS lathe on order and just in the process of sorting out my tooling etc. can anyone tell me if they have fitted a QCTP to a DB10VS and if so which one please?

      Thanks.

        Wouldn’t think so, not unless you got a special deal where it was expressly mentioned. Standard for almost all lathes is the 4 way holder.

          I think you are misreading my question. I know it doesn’t come with a qrtp, I am asking if anyone has fitted a qrtp to their DB10VS and if so which one.

            My bad. Please ignore.

            As for general advice I will always recommend a 40pos “Multifix” system, especially if you have plans for a DRO.

              I don’t have this lathe but as it is a 5in centre height I expect the next size up from the size used on a Myford.
              Try this site which tells you how to size a tool post:

              Don’t get one that is too big thinking you have to be able to use enormous tools – for this lathe you only need 6-9mm toolbits. Also smaller holders are cheaper and you end up wanting a lot of them.
