Going with Aloris or PhaseII?
Phase-II works for me.
I've only seen one PII, but it looked well designed and worked fine.
Phase II uses a piston to push out on the Aloris style holder. Only
the angled surface and the psiton make contact.
the Aloris brand expands the Z taper with a wedge making full contact
on the entire Z area. WAY more rigid. May not make any difference on
light lathes with small cuts. Pour the coals to it with a heavy cut
and insert tooling; the difference is night and day.
I've haven't made any 0.100" cuts in all my days, so far, but I see
what you mean. Have you experienced chattering or deflection problems
with a Phase II?
