There are three South Bend groups I'm a member of. Seems only the /g/SouthBendLathe/messages gets the traffic. Most of the posts there involve 9"ers. I have a few 9" and one 13"

Thanks John, I was unaware of the other group, ill join it. stuw

Have any of you added an AXA tool holder to your South Bend model 9 lathes. If so, do any of you have instruction and or drawings for what is required to do this?? Any information would be

You are overthinking it. Buy a tool post kit, either mill or buy a t-nut the proper size then mount the post. Mission accomplished. I chose to buy a t-nut on eBay since my shop time was limited

And if you can't afford to buy, and don't have a mill, you can cut the t-nut blank that comes with most AXA & clone toolposts with a hacksaw and files to make the T-nut you need. That is what I did

The Aloris tool post was inch thread . Mind I purchased in the 1970's and still working great Dave

You’re right, Bill. That is exactly what I did for my Atlas 6x18 and the A2Z CNC post I bought for it. When I bought my Atlas 12x36, I used the 6x18 lathe milling adapter to mill the t-nut for the

James, I believe you're raising him right! I failed miserably at that with my kids. I like computers, and think of them as a fine tool, but they're not the be-all and end-all of life. I can't seem to

Thank you all for your rely. Have already made a drawing to make one. I have one of those mini mill drills to do it with. Thanks again and may the Lord bless you all.

That should be way faster and easier than files and a hacksaw! Enjoy! But don't throw away your lantern toolpost. There are some things the QCTP is better for, and others the lantern post is better

??? ??? All you have to do is cut, grind the T-nut to fit the slot on your compound . If you end up with one of the imports , it's a good thing to dissemble the tool post & clean it out from

"but they're not the be-all and end-all of life " I wouldn't be too sure about that . To some kids it's natural to pick things up & see how it works or ask & use their hands & really enjoy

I have a PhaseII (same as AXA if I understand it properly) holder on my SB 10K. It came that way. Looks like it was a direct replacement for the old lantern style holder. PhaseII just slides right

Well I when out to the shop last night and toke the rectangular plate that came with AXA tool post and machined it to fit my lathe (see attached picture). Again thank you for all your help. Bill

??? ??? Good deal , Your already making chips ! ??? animal

It's looking good! I hope it was easier than when I did it by hand a file, and I hope you both enjoyed the work, and got pleasure out of making a part for your equpment, as well! Cool stuff to be

For future reference in case a newbie reads this, Phase II is a brand, AXA is a size.

True that, and why I generally say AXA-Clone. Partially because mine is a Chinese copy, and partially because the AXA-size is the one that fits 9-12" lathes, generally speaking. My school lathe that I

??? ??? If I was to buy a new tool post to replace my import AXA I would get one of these Multi-Fix clones . Had I know that they were around I would have bought one instead of the AXA . ???
