$200.07 $289.95 In stock

AXA, or series 100, wedge type quick change tool post set is designed for lathes with up to 12" swing.

All working parts are hardened and ground. This lathe tool post set is completely sealed for maintenance-free operation.

This lathe tool post set includes the tool post and the following tool holders:

No. 1 - Turning & Facing Tool Holder

No. 2 - Boring, Turning & Facing Tool Holder

No. 4 - Heavy Duty Boring Tool Holder, will hold 5/8" or 3/4" round shanks.

No. 7 - Universal Parting Blade Holder

No.10 - Knurling, Facing & Turning.

This set includes a 9/16"-18 threaded stud and a piece of steel from which you can make a T-slot nut to fit your lathe. The tool holders interchange with Aloris, Dorian, and Phase II.

TO ENSURE POPER FIT:
- If adding to a HiTorque machine from LMS you may need a modified compound if your machine originally came with a traditional turret post. (see Chris's tips).
- It is a good fit on 9x20 lathes but requires some modification or our mounting sleeve (see Chris's tips).
- Many people feel that these tool posts are too large for mini lathes, but others like the mass and rigidity they provide. Some modification may be required to install correctly (see Chris's tips).

Sebastian ★★★★★

My lathe has a 12" swing, and this wedge type tool post set fit perfectly with no slop. The sealed, hardened working parts give me confidence it will hold up to daily use.

Sebastian ★★★★★

The wedge lock mechanism on this tool post set is solid and doesn't budge once tightened, which is a huge upgrade from my old setup. It took me under five minutes to install and feels much more stable during heavier cuts. For a lathe under 12" swing, this is exactly what I needed.

Samuel ★★★★★

Swapped out my old lantern style post for this AXA set, and the wedge locking mechanism is noticeably smoother and more precise. The sealed design is a nice bonus for keeping chips out of the works.
