Default Quick change tool post question

Hi bg,
I've got news for you, Phase II *is* the lowest of the low in quality.

Ken,

Maybe you should check the brand name on the tool set you have. Bills
Tool Crib doesnt sell Phase II brand. They sell no name copies that
are basically the lowest of the low grades. There is a big difference
between these. The only similarity is the model or series numbers.

I paid $159 from Bills Tool CRib (on the web) for a wedge type Aloris

clone.
Best price around and good service.
Incidently, it's a BXA/200 type and I have it on MY Sheldon 13" WM-56P

it. Maybe we can do something.
Thanks

I am going to treat myself to a quick change tool post for my 13

inch
Sheldon. I was looking at the Enco catalog and they have the Phase

11
for $109. and $199.00 One is a piston type and the other wedge. Is
there a difference that should make me spend the extra money?

Wacked the rest..

I bought one of those Phase II package deals with the piston type

tool
post.

When I came to a job that required switching tool holders repeatedly

I
found out why they are so much cheaper!

They aren't repeatable to anything better than .010".

Ended up setting it on a bench and buying an Aloris wedge style that

has
repeatability in the .0005" range.

I wasted my money on that POS, and had to buy a better one anyway. I

HATE
when that happens.

Oh, it's a 200/BXA size if anyone wants it.
