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

Did you mean "Discount_Machine"? I have a lot of items from SHARS.

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

The screw can be seen in the 6th photo on that page.(Here is a larger

There is definitely no screw on the other side.
