These are all Dickson type ,just in case any one gets confused .
Pity Shars don't sell them but the dickson type dosen't seem popular in the US
Chronos and RDG have them occasionally they have specials where you can buy five at a reduced price.
RDG Tools - Online Engineering Tools Quickchange Toolpost (Separate Tool Holders)
Lathe Quick Change Toolposts
Or this guy on Ebay ,45.00 each for single tool holders.
Still a bit spendy .

Tool Holders
I have Dickson brand Q C tool holders on my Colchester. a few months ago I took one of my holders into H & F in Sydney to compare with the holders they are selling. Unfortunately they are a slightly different size in the profile which attaches to the mounting block so the Q C tooling H & F are selling at the moment are not interchangeable with Dickson. This could have been different in the past.
