Re: AXA tool post holder
Be careful about installing that OXA clone. As soon as I did that on my 7x10 mini-lathe, I turned around and sold it. ;)

Re: AXA tool post holder
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

Re: AXA tool post holder
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

Re: AXA tool post holder
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

Re: AXA tool post holder
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
