Lathe Rapid Original quick change tool post

noamw · May 10, 2020

Hi,

I have a Rapid Original tool post and several holders.

I am planing to buy some more holders. I found some Chinese clones that look nice.

Anyone have experience with those clones. Do they fit to the original tool post ?.

Thanks,
Noam.

Is it a Dorian clone like a CXA, BXA, AXA, etc.?

Rapid Original (Italy) is like the UK-made Dickson, nothing like Dorian.

Hi,

My question is if anyone had good luck with Chinese clones like the one's in the attached image.

Thanks,

Type A, why are you asking ?

My source confirmed that the holders are 100% compatible. I think I will take
that chance...

Thanks.
