Well, I had a Phase-II piston-style post on my Atlas 10" and later a 12", and it was just FINE. Never once had a problem with repeatability or movement. But, perhaps some other brands of piston post

The nut can be turned on the lathe, as long as you are ok with a round nub sticking up through the compound slot rather than a square nub. You do need a four-jaw, though. It’s pretty easy to do, and

File and bench vise are enough. If you don't want to sweat for it, angle grinder and vise. If you have a bandsaw and a file that will work too. Milling machine is always nice but not required. Get

Yes, I already have the sleeve. Stan

I agree with Carvel.? The MT2 and MT3 are so cheap, get both.? I believe I also bought the MT3 to MT2 sleeve. -Jody
