Half the fun is the install!

After unboxing and evaluating what my next move would be, I decided against modifying the compound slide in the event I want to revert it back to original (for whatever reason). Anyway, the bolt that is on my Smithy 3-in-1 compound slide was a M10x18. This is way too small for the 9/16 hole in the new AXA toolpost. So I took a grade 8 bolt, chuck it up in the lathe and turned it down to fit the hole. I then bored and tapped it to M8x18 and use it to lock down the ne toolpost. Works flawlessly and looks great! I mean, looks are important when machining. Hope this helps!

Great quality

Great quality and the post holds on to the dovetails very securely. I have the toolpost mounted on a surface ground cast iron slide but I had to put a dab of silicon carbide lapping compound between the post and the slide to keep it from rotating during heavy cuts. It might just be that the cast iron was ground too smooth since I didn't have this issue on other lathes.

Very nice set

Bought this for use on a Smithy 1220LTD, fits perfectly. All finished very well and solid except for a burr in the bore of the boring bar holder which I removed in 30 seconds with a rotary sanding tool. Have been pleased with Accusize tooling. Recommended.

Excellent👍

Repeats every time. I'm usually not impressed with offshore tools, but this quick change tool post is awesome. I've purchased other Accusize tools and measuring instruments and have become a fan of the company.

Quick change tool post

Very pleased with the quality of this quick change tool post.

Great device

This has the wedge type restraint vs the push type.

Best thing since sliced bread.

Only issue I had with the tool holders was 1/2 inch tools would not lower to the center line of the spindle. Went to the local machine shop and had 0.125 fly cut of the bottom of the tool holders. Now everything work great.

Great tool holder!

Strong and well made. Excellent craftsmanship. Does not fix the Grizzly g0602 compound slide being too high as some people suggest.

Very pleased with purchase

Fit and finish is very good. Makes projects in the home shop so much faster when you are making multiple pieces and can swap the tooling quickly and accurately.

Very good Quality

It was what I expected Good Quality.
