If you seek rigidity in a toolpost, look at the "Gibraltar" toolpost. Definitely not QC, but RIGID!

Hello Howard,

I could not agree more. I revamped an old 918 lathe for a disabled friend. The 918s are well known for their lack of rigidity in the tooling area. So I made a Gibralter style post for when some accurate turning was required, Made a huge difference!

Andrew.
