I'm about to take the plunge, but the Aloris catalog only lists specific
lathes, not a way to calculate which toolholder one needs for a particular
compound height.

Does anyone know the formula, or how much a (say) BXA allows one to adjust
the holders vertically once on the post?

Aloris has in their catalog a form one fills out, from which they
compute the necessary spacer height. I bet they would also just tell
you the needed dimensions, given the form.

I bought my BXA toolpost directly from Aloris, and the package included
the custom machined spacer. Unlike MSC et al.
