As a favour for a friend I bought him a genuine Dixon QCTP (Myford
Size) as I picked up up some other things for myself. He is now
moaning that his cheap "patern" holders do not fit well. Apparently
the large 45 deg (?) faces are further apart on the genuine tool post.
Has anyone else found this problem? If so has anyone found a source of
patern (read as cheap) holders that fit properly. Any help appreciated
otherwise it seems I have inadvertantly bought myself another QCTP.

Smack him playfully round the head with a wet copy of Exchange and Mart and tell him to
get off his arse and look for his own bargains.
