Phase II BXA compared to Aloris AXA with a question
I put the Phase II BXA post on my lathe, it is bigger and looks right for the size of the
machine. All was hunky dory but then I noticed the two wedges that are driven by the lead screw, flop out away from the tool post when loosened. This could allow chips to get into the gap. My Aloris AXA post maintains a chip free no gap condition surrounding the wedges. Did I get a lemon or is this one of the trade offs for not buying Aloris? Anyone have problems with it? Uncle was eyeing my old AXA for his 1887 lathe. Once I get things worked out, I'll gift it to him if it fits. http://wess.freeshell.org/usenet/rec...cleslathe2.jpg That picture is him touching up a liner he made by turning down a octagon black powder barrel to re-line a rifle he has. Notice the hillbilly steady rest. BTW, I have air conditioning in the machine room now. Very nice Thanks, Wes |
