Powermatic/McNaughton Tool Post

[Paul Andrews]

Does anyone know the North America tool rep's e-mail address for the McNaughton coring system? I have their complete set which works great on my current lathe, but I just ordered a Powermatic which requires a longer tool post. I spoke with a representative from Craft Supply but they are back ordered and their shipment will not arrive before early December!

If you know of another source for this tool post I would appreciate the information..

Paul

Hi Paul,

Greg Jensen is the U.S. rep for Kelton tools. I did find his email address listed in the resource directory. If you are not a member, just shoot me an email. I will be happy to pass it along to you.


Best wishes,
Dave

Paul, I had the same problem , so I just had an extension welded on to the existing post. Problem solved.

Same problem, different solution

I often find that I need just to go over to the local machine shop and have them custom fabricate a new tool post of the needed diameter and length to fit a new tool. I have a Vic 300, with a 30mm post diameter. It is usually same cost or lower to fabricate a new post than try to find one that no one stocks and has to order.

Not lazy, just efficient(impatient)
