I don't have the time or inclination to diddle with this, so I got a RMA
(er, actually a Return Goods Authorization) from KBC.

I now notice that there is no size listed for the toolholder, no "AXA"
or "BXA", nada...

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.
