Import BXA toolpost experience
*Has anybody had a bad
experience with the import knock-offs other than that the screws on the individual tool holders need to be replaced. I have a Phase II piston type from Enco (on sale). I've had to file one genuine Aloris morse taper holder slightly to get it on the dovetail, but other than that, no issues--I've not had any trouble with random import holders off ebay. Any time I've had chatter, it's always ended up being in the carriage or compound, not the toolpost. Looking at the auction, he used a stock photo, not one of the actual item. That usually makes me wary, but using the _wrong_ stock photo gets me fully on my guard immediately, makes me wonder if he's actually got any to sell at all, or if he's just drop-shipping from some other retailer (for example, it's common to see stuff listed from HF for $10 over their price) or just scamming outright. A 98.2 feedback isn't much to write home about, especially after only 699 auctions--I'd walk away just from that. Lots of dings for late shipment and poor communication. Personally, I think I'd keep looking, especially when there's stuff like items 270414954729 or 330434576690 out there. CDCOtools.com has a no-name BXA piston style for under a c-note. Enco currently has Phase II on sale, in both piston and wedge--and will actually support you after the sale. --Glenn Lyford |
