OK, so picking up 1969 Monarch 10EE this Friday.It has Taper Attachment as well as the ELSR Option.
Comes with an Aloris AXA Tool Post.
I own a larger lathe with an Aloris DA tool post.
I will be having to acquire Tool holders.
The AXA standard shank holders’ groove is 1/2 Tall by 7/16 Deep.
The AXA 1S are 5/8 by 7/16 Deep.
The BXA 1S are 3/4 by 1/2 Deep.
My desire is to avoid investing in the wrong direction on tooling.
So:
1) Thoughts on sticking with the AXA Post and buying holders for it?
2) Acquire a BXA Tool Post and BXA 1s holders?
3) I wonder what the most available/popular tool shank size is?
Thanks in advance all, for any help with your guidance here.
