I own a Phase II AXA sized post for my Atlas-Craftsman 12" and a Bostar AXA clone from CDCO that is mounted on my South Bend 9A. Actually in my opinion, the Bostar is a better post with higher

MIke, is that the "Good" clone, or the bad clone? Someone else bought the one that's imported into Germany, and it was two or three times that cost. It is supposedly the "Good" clone. I didn't touch

Be careful about installing that OXA clone. As soon as I did that on my 7x10 mini-lathe, I turned around and sold it. ;) Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live

Mike, make a handle and nut for your AXA, you can adjust it to any angle you need in 5 seconds. ?I did the same on both my SB9a and SB13. ?I also made a spacer for the SB13, on which I also use an

??? ??? This one is a import from China I believe . I have read some reviews on it & they seem favorable . I have heard of some European clones , some good & some not so good .? The 2 I have

This is the one that I read about that is supposed to be as good as the original.? Also more expensive. Bill in OKC? William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live by: SEMPER

I wouldn't worry too much about that. I haven't sold a tool yet. I already have an A2Z CNC tool post on it but sm not totally happy as it is not that rigid and the little lathe is flexible enough

I had to eliminate 'T nut' and 'belt' from my eBay South Bend searches as half of the returns were T nuts and belts which I have no current need for. As for the Aloris style post and locking lever,

I grew up in SoCal, and took my first machine shop class there in 1973. Also left the state that year, and have never seen that style of tool post before. I like it! Think I'm going to try to track

Used KDK brand holders can be expensive used, especially considering their sometimes beat up condition. There is a cheaper clone option. These are very nice compared to some

Patented a decade before I took machine shop, so I guess it's no surprise I missed them. They wouldn't have been all that common yet, and highly unlikely to be in a high school machine shop. I've

I may not have mentioned it here before, but I'm a cheap bastrich. ;) Only reason I have an AXA-clone is that it was $130 when I bought it, with five tool holders. I think I'll make my own! I paid

??? ??? ??? While I don't have a KDK I really like them . I have noticed that of all the " real machine shops " that the most common tool post are the KDK & the Multi-fix? over the Aloris .

As far as I can tell, you can get Chinese import clones of the KDK. An AXA equivalent with 5 holders is $3-400, IIRC, search on Ebay and you'll find them. The Multifix is worse, pricewise, but that

??? ??? Yea , the multi-fixstyle it what I'd buy if i was ever to do it again over a Aloris clone . ??? ??? animal

I’m curious why? What have you found to be the benefits of the Multifix or KDK designs over the Aloris? I’ve used an Aloris for many years and have no complaints about its quality or

The US KDK is gone, only import now for new. The side lever is not as robust as the Aloris, and there is only the one dovetail, not the two at 90 degrees. The tool holders for the 0, 100, 150 and 200

I can answer a bit of that, about the difference between the Multifix and Aloris types, anyway. The Multifix has (IIRC) 38 specific angles that are built into the toolpost so you can select a tool

In a home shop I see no real advantage in the Multifix, maybe in a production shop. ?The KDK looks like it sticks out too much. I recently turned a magneto backing plate that was 8” on a SB9 and
