I thought that you all maybe interested in see the install AXA tool holder on my SB9.? Thank you for all your input.

So did you buy one ? Dave

??? ??? One of the nice things about the 38 different angles you can set the tool at on a multi-fix? . Lets say you have squared your tool post with your chuck & you do a bunch or turning &

I'd have to see the set up. With the KDK you can turn the base any angle on the compound and the holders flip, so a left hand becomes a right hand. Also there are a variety of holders and shapes. If I

Things like that are why I said we shouldn't get rid of the lantern tool posts. I bought the AXA because it was cheap, I could get it fast, and I didn't have a complete lantern tool post, either. I'd

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

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

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’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

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

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

??? ??? ??? 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 .

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

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

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

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

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 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

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
