MAN!!! I need ta' restock the lathe room, LOL

Talking about the various tool holders fitting the post. I haven't even mounted the thing on the lathe yet.


Actually, I think we "have this." This is a SHARS import knock off of a Phase II BXA toolpost. 'Cept the darn thing doesn't FIT the tool holders

According to the numbers, it should. Evidently the Chinaman who hacksawed and filed it out forgot to check his work

I heard from the Ebay seller BY PHONE!!!! today. He's sending a replacement, and I'm imagining he'll have tried a tool holder on the thing, along with a return label so all I need to do is drop the defect in the mail.

Some people call these an Aloris wedge or piston post.
