KP-3 on a lathe?

Post by nicolasjolliet »

Can one use the KP-3 on the acorn lathe as a tool setter?
I have a Taig gang lathe and was wondering how I would go about that, what are you guys using to set your tools?

The KP-3 and DP-4 have light springs.
Hopefully Centroid will create a version of their TT2 using KP-3 technology.
