There is a video on youtube of this fine fellow over in Japan which makes very nice fountain ink pens. He owns this smaller metal lathe of the sorts which has a quick release mechanism built onto the backside of the headstock. Anyone have any idea what the mechanism is termed, called, etc;? How about makes and manufactures? Doesn't appear to be any form of a makeshift creation. Looks like it was made specifically for the lathe. However, if it is makeshift, it appears to be a quality amendment.
You can see the mechanism in about 7:20 of the video and again somewhere around 9:20, I believe. If I recall correctly. thanks
