- I install a Create Tool Multifix 40 position tool post on the Rock Lathe! Create Tool is a family run operation that's been in business for 20 years. Check out their quality product at www.createtool.com or on eBay www.ebay.com/s...
What actor/movie was that quote from? What are some other good lines from that movie?

Super cool. The quality looks pretty good. Taking a page out of the Abom handbook is never a bad idea. Thanks for sharing
Nice toolpost. I bought the same one this winter and it works pretty well. Very cool to see the Create tool factory. The grinding finish is superb!
Sweet. Nice to see some photos from the factory too.
Very Good Video. The mounting Pins are intended for Antirotation but also for indexing. They are intended to allow a fine division. On my Multifix B, I find on one hole the basic 40 divisions of 9 degrees each. By changing to the other hole, you shift to 4,5 degrees, hence you had 40 more divisions, making a total of 80 divisions. Very good work. Best regards from France.
Good idea!
Remind that this mounting Pin must be installed with a little press-fit tolerance (recommended) onto your toolpost. And the hole need to be positioned wisely to ensure the 90degree alignement to the spindle axis. Your Toolpost need to be zeroed before marking the Pin place and fitting the whole thing. Enjoy :-)
I got a same set of this for my old lathe . I did some work to mount it on . Now it’s work good.
朋友，这个是哪个牌子的？

Congrats on the new QC Toolpost. I purchased this same Create Tools Multifix size A a few years ago and have been very happy with its performance and convenience. Create Tools are very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with from my experience as well, I've placed a couple customized orders over the years.
Nice to hear that you had a positive experience as well with Create Tool Eric!
Been using Create Tool stuff for years - top quality stuff.
Good to hear Paul!
The 2 major problems with the Swiss Multifix lathe tool-post design.
1. It is expensive.
2. Once you have used it a bit - it is hard to return to other types.
But this ones affordable compared to other quality brands.........
@@BurtonsAttic But softer steel.

Glad you found these im looking at this setup myself.
very nice - looks like they've got a great little operation over there at CreateTool - looks very organized and well cared for
What a great addition to your lathe, congrats!
The end mill left a really nice pattern on the compound!...
I have one of them for my lathe. The 7.5mm holes are so that you set the center part then drill an 8mm hole thru the sleeves into the cross slide and put an 8mm dowel pin.
1000th like! Didn’t realize this was on a delta Rockwell when I clicked on the video. Made it even better as that’s what I’ve got! I appreciate all the information!
Cool! Thx!
Burton's Attic been out of trade school for 5 years now and never heard a 40 position tool post. Their website is a little confusing, I assume you have to contact them about pricing?
Check there eBay- www.ebay.com/str/createtoolchina
Burton's Attic much appreciated! I’m waiting on getting my Rockwell wired up, your videos help pass the time 👌
I have admired this type of tool post for some time. I had no idea that an affordable version was availabie.
For what it is, it's very affordable in this size.
it may be affordable for some but anything over 150 bucks is out of my range but i would love to have one
am amazed at the quality of the tools made for you..i also checked out their web site..well organized..spelling and grammar perfect..and they are ISO certified..rare site this is..and maybe they realize that people were tiring of poor quality, cheap stuff from China..
I have been shopping for two tool posts (two lathes with zero tool posts). I have been to createtool.com and their ebay store, They are priced similar to the equivilant Aloris and by no means the most expensive multifix style (their are several), But HOLY cows batman, this is a huge investment. With two tool posts and a good variety of tool holders, I will pay more then I did for the lathes. I have also watched dozens of tool holders at auction quickly go out of my price range. I am just going to wait until an opportunity presents.
The Aloris style work great for most of us, and have the HUGE advantage of it being easy to make your own tool holders. I have about 20 or so for my lathe, most of them I made, can't imagine what it would cost to buy them all.
Thanks. I too have wanted one of these since I saw Adam Booth use his..
Great job on that lathe.
Yep, who else is Jealous?
18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90. Good to know your multiples of 9 with this tool. 40 positions out of 360 is 9 degrees for each position. I wish it was 5 degrees for each step.
The holders are 100% compatible with the swiss original holder. Create Tool are an easy company to deal with as well.
Good to know Matt
I've been wanting one of those ever since I seen Adam's video on it. He should contact them and set up a booth machine shop version. He is selling so many of them post with his content.
Great little review/ overview man. I just ordered the plain old quick change square block aloris knock off. Just can't seem to muster up the gull to spend that much on a tool post.... 😔
That looks like a real handy tool.
Steve
That it is, really happy with it.
Those two small día holes on the bottom of the post are slightly differently offset from each other in relation to the tool holder mounting splines. So if you bother to put a single dowel in your compound you can change the original 40 index positions up to 80 finely indexed positions ( or in my case with a PWT brand Multifix knockoff setup) 120 positions because there are 3 dowel index holes in the post.
PS: this indexing concept doesn’t work in an American/British T-Slot designed toolpost mount system with a freely sliding T-nut. But on European mounts that use a fixed position mounting stud in the compound it works really slick converting 40 positions into 120 discrete repeatable positions.
I think a french guy mentioned that also below about the 80. So far I'm good with just the 40.
Burton's Attic oh sorry I didn’t look far enough. But same for me as well. 40 is plenty with ability to angle the cutter a bit in the holders. In 2 years of use I’ve never had to loosen my post. Thanks for your reply.
Same here and I still haven't pinned or screwed it yet!
Justo el soporte que buscaba, gracias por el vídeo. Saludos desde Perú.
Ijust got too! Love it, nice and ridgit.
One other modification I did was to drill a hole thru the center pin and make a coolant passage that goes thru the cross slide. The idea is the coolant nozzle will move with the tool so you do Not have to keep adjusting it when you move in and out.
What I need to do next (I have been a bit lazy) is to put an attachment to the tool holder that will connect to the center coolant pipe so each holder has a coolant nozzle set up to the right place. Thus way when the holder is changed you do Not need to adjust the coolant nozzle.
I will do that and post a video one day.
OK Francisco ....a lotta guys are waiting for tht video Haha Thanks, and best wishes

That is quite a piece of equipment!
Thanks Matt! See you changed your YT name.
I did! I mostly post carving videos and now it matches all my other social media related to that.
Get me in front of that pace car or its all over!
Nice setup, time to start on that todo list :)
Cheers
This-That was on the to do list.........
mine is orig swiss from the early 70s, it is not worn much, if I put a 2 foot bar in a toolholder I get 003pushing down on the bar, probably accounting for runout
Sad they seemed to just stop producing. I've emailed several times over the last 2 or 3 years and no response. Definitely seems like they stopped trading so I just missed out on purchasing a set.
I use an original and have always wondered why they chose the odd angle increment of 9°
Great video , cheers .
Thanks Max
I've always wanted a set of the 40 position tool post and holders .For me it seems there's to many bills or other tooling needs when I get some saved for one. I don't like debt so I save to buy it's much better on finances.
Debt free is the way to be!
nice, had a bit easier type, but finally i installed the multifix A, too... chip, chip, brother...
Hey boss. Any thoughts on this tool post after 5yrs? You happy with it or what changes would you have made?
great to hear you USA Americans finally talking metrics
Wish I knew about this a year ago when I updated my tool post.
Never to late.......
@@BurtonsAttic I agree. Razzel Dazzel could always move on his existing tool-post once he has upgraded and thus offset some of the cost.
It appears Create Tool is no longer on Ebay.
Tighten toward you. Opposite has the tendency to undo the clamp bolt... 😑
Thanks
Enjoyed your video. Had two questions. What advantages do you see to the multifix style tool post over the aloris style. And, how do you know if your tool post is too big? I run a 14x40 lathe and have an original multifix size B. I’m considering down sizing
Seems they aren't available on eBay.also their website seems to be down
Looks like an order form is available on there website now. They are responsive to email. I would contact them from there website if you need information.
Those use to be a bargain but quite expensive now.
Hello burton's attic. I really like your review of create multifix. I tried to buy a Aa set too on the create tool website but the order form refused my order. I also tried to contact them by email but I never received any answer from them. Could you help me? Have you any suggestions? Thanks
Good review,thanks. If this tool is preferred by Abom, then you can guarantee it’ll do the job reliably.
Don Sides have you seen the size of Adam's Multifix? Yes it's Abom sized this one is a dinky toy in comparison lol
@@samrodian919 Fits my lathe perfectly.
Great video, I have a Ab size on my Myford ML7 .. just bought a Colchester Student and am wanting to replace the original Colchester Dickson with another multifix .. love the holder .. my Swiss heritage may have something to do with the inclination ;) Thanks for the great pictures of the factory, how did you get those? Makes me definitely want to order from them :)
Create Tool sent them to me Mat.
A good addition to the lathe, the only drawback in my mind to that system is you can’t machine custom tool holders.
Like what for an example?
I made up custom boring bar holders for my tool post. However it’s not a show stopper. Myself I’ve never moved my post around because of the tooling I use on my lathe.
@@BurtonsAttic he must mean that the 9 degree sartain's wouldn't be easily made by a lot of people compared to dovetails. It depends on your needs. The quality seems to be more in line to Taiwanese tooling.
The round holder for the MT1 and MT2 sleeve can be customized. The bore is 30mm I think. Need to watch the video again so I can see the size in the PN.
Yup I get that. But that one boring bar holder will allow you to do what even you would need. For the price of to holder from Create Tool, making it wouldn't make any sense. Even for AXA also.......
OK, and 7:05 you show how you mounted it.
I like it. Have you check for flex in the cross-slide with the toolholder. How Much run-out? Who did you buy it from? Have a axa on my South bend 13X7 real sloppy. I want to replace it. I mean that really looks Nice!

Sorry don't understand
How long did shipping take? I have just ordered one but I'm expecting the delivery to take for ever
Seems like it was around 7 or 8 days. It shipped fast but was in customs hold for a few days.
Why didn't you make that bolt yourself? You have a lathe! 😉
If it was me, I would never mill on the machine /compound. Instead made a spacer to put under the main holder.
Bolt was already hardened, coated, low cost and saved time. As for the compound I went the spacer route already and it was causing deflection. Minimal material removed from the compound doesn't matter. The post fits precisely and has a direct connection to the compound.
Someone answer my question, will this fit a 14 lathe?
This one will not. Go to the Create Tool website and refer to the different tool post diagrams. You need to take a measurement from the compound to center line.
Burton's Attic ok thanks
Fantastic! Can i ask what your centre height is on that lathe in the video? mm? cant believe i didn't subscribe from the last videos!
Thanks Troy. 35mm from top of the compound to spindle center.
@@BurtonsAttic cheers for the reply! I've known about create tool for a while now and I've been wanting to get a holder but was never sure. But the A set seems to be the go for me
@@troyam6607 What size/model lathe do you have Troy?
@@BurtonsAttic I have a Chinese Hare and Forbes AL336 here in Aus
👍😎👍
Broken link to http: ....and not secured ("S")
Would it be possible to get a copy of the tool post stud drawing?
Fullscreen- ctrl/alt/print screen. Paste to paint.
Yeah tried that but the dimensions do not come through very well due to the color used. A PDF file would be better
Those holders don't have a lot of bottom lip. I hope they're stout enough. Looks nice, but too rich for my blood.
For the quality it's not that expensive. A worn out Swiss original is twice the price........
The only thing I am disappointed with is it’s made in China. But what’s important is craftsmanship.
It is well made.
Days of thunder reference. Yuck why do I know that?
Hey I know it was a little cheesy but it's a good movie!
No I meant yuck about me knowing it. I actually just watched it after commenting on you video haha. It’s a good movie. Maybe I’m getting old.
How can you work with gloves, no feel dumb
Show off!!!
Nice tool post but........Gloves on a lathe???.....I'm outta here.
I guess you missed the part where Adam said not to buy anything but Peter's p e p w system the original multifix system and nothing from China LOL oh well there's another couple hundred dollars over to China. I got nothing against China I have vendors in China that I love dearly
Yup, those are made in China also
@@BurtonsAttic no there not or perter is lying
