I have an import BXA wedge toolpost and holders that works well for me, except for the sometimes less than spectacular results that I get using the style #7 parting tool/holder. My lathe is pretty rigid, monarch 10ee 3hp.
I have been thinking of upgrading at considerable to cost to the Aloris #71 and using the .125" blade that holds GTN-3 inserts. Not a cheap proposition, about $200 total at Enco.
Does anyone have any input on this holder and its advantages or disadvantages? Is it safe to assume it will fit my Chinese post?
Thanks for the help
