I came across this You Tube video- the owner has made himself a special holder for 3 different tools. He drills, counterbores, faces and parts off a bushing in 1 operation.

On the Shoptask website, there are a number of classified ads for upgrades. They all come from the same place back east. I would check with these folks and see if they are reviving the old upgrades from Shoptask. Not sure what sort of agreement they have, but its nice to see those items available again. maybe these folks are working on a CNC toolpost.

That looks like a simple device to build for the toolpost- clever way to reduce machine time with no stops for tool change.
