Jet 920 owners; recommend a quick change tool post

Post by EBK »

Can anyone recommend a quick change tool post for a Jet 920 and where to get one. Jet does not make one for the 920 model.
If possible I would prefer a drop in ready to go model w/o having to mill any parts.

Thanks!

That's the one that I have, and I know several other pipe makers use the same setup. If you get that, and you don't have a modified face plate for your tool post, you'll want to get the "4 Bolt Compound Hold Down" which is lower down the page. My 9x20 came with a lame two point hold down, and I needed something with more strength and stability. Also, if you buy T nuts from them, beware as they strip pretty easily. Just my 2 cents.
