1)What does a quick change tool post do?
The biggest one in a set is the quick change tool post, which is designed to replace the original 4-way tool post on your lathe. All other holders in this set will eventually be installed on the tool post.
2)How do I know what size quick change tool post I need?
Choosing the right quick change tool post for your lathe
If this number is not provided on your lathe or in its manual, it can be determined by doubling the measured distance from the center of the spindle to the top of the closest way. For example, if you measure 6″, then you have a 12″ lathe swing
3)How do you measure for a tool post?
I suggest that a good starting point is to measure from the top of the top slide (ie where the tool post mounts) to centre height. Then select a post that puts its tool tip such that the height adjustment straddles centre height.

When your height is measured at the doctor's office, you usually stand next to a device called a stadiometer. A stadiometer is a long ruler attached to the wall. It has a sliding horizontal headpiece that's adjusted to rest on top of your head. It's a quick way of accurately measuring your height.
