Ellis,
I'm REALLY good at miss-placing allen wrenches, damned trolls will
snatch one in a heart beat. Any mod is worth the extra effort of a cam to
thwart the evil creatures. My goal is to only need an allen wrench when
initially installing a tool in a tool holder, mucking about with change
gears, or lathe disassembly (looking for lost allen wrenches :-)

Not if you mount it on the tailstock side of the saddle and offset the
bolt to the rear. I also used an allen bolt the same size as the tool
clamps on the toolpost and with a ball ended allen wrench it is very easy
and only one tool fits all.
