My Enco and KBC orders arrived on the same UPS truck. When it came
time to try the KBC toolholder on the Aloris AXA, I found that it does
not work. The depth of the dovetail in the toolholder is too deep by
about 1/8th of an inch. It rattles on the toolpost.


Wow! That is huge. I was trying to make some BXA holders fit my aloris AXA
wedge post recently (didn't realize they were BXA) and iirc, .012" shim made
the BXA sorta fit.

I think a CXA is much bigger, can't tell you how much even though I was
running a CXA equiped lathe last night making repair parts for a test cell.

Measure the width of the dovetail using some common round things in corners
and give us the dimensions. I can try to check that against genuine AXA,
BXA, and CXA holders to see what you have.
