Quick and Dirty Solid Toolpost Mount. I machined some 1020 mild steel block I had around, drilled 4 holes for M8 T-Nuts. A hole with M12 thread to secure the QCTP was drilled and tapped.
The QCTP is held down using a single 16mm shaft with 15cm stick-out to be used for a Stefan Gotteswinter style DTI holder.
Nothing too fancy at this stage, but it works really well. I was planning to add a piece of steel adjacent to the QCTP to pinch it from rotating, but it's really very secure so not sure I need it. Overall pretty happy with it, feels more rigid allowing me to take really deep cuts in mild steel.
