I took the plunge and ordered the one from Discount_Tools / Shars
since the price was comparable and the feedback was 99.8 and he'd sold
61 of them previously. *It also stuck in the back of my mind that in
the past someone had mentioned that Shars stuff was OK. *I guess I"m

don't have the gold standard for comparison.

Did you mean "Discount_Machine"? I have a lot of items from SHARS.
(Including the AXA toolpost).

Hmm ... this is perhaps a chance to see whether other of this
brand of Wedge style toolpost also have the screw on the bottom of the
turning position wedge. Re-post the links to the photo which shows the
screw, so he can check that and compare with his toolpost.

Good Luck,
DoN.
