Default Import BXA toolpost experience

my 12 inch Logan powermatic is right on the border of where the A size
should be replaced by the B size - sometimes I regret changing from the A to
B sized tool post, particularly when I have to let the holder drop down
below the compound to get the tool low enough. - this happens primarily with
the parting tool, when I have to cut over about 3/4 inch deep

Wes -

Remember the A to BXA is height and sqare size. Minimum center might be
an issue.

Do you run into used BXA Aloris posts often?

My Clausing 6903 sports a Genuine Aloris AXA post but that is a bit small
given the 3 HP
and working varidrive.

I'd love to have a decent used BXA Aloris w/o paying near oem prices.
I'm holding off on
expanding my tool holder collection based on knowing I'm using a too
small post.
