I have found several threads addressing the appropriate size quick change tool post holder to use on a Monarch 10EE. The general consensus seemed to be BXA, although some like and use the smaller AXA and a few the larger CXA (and/or possibly CA?) series. There were also some proponents of the KDK #100 and/or KDK #150 series.
I believe that I will go with the BXA size for my 1949 MG 10EE.
The purpose of this thread is to enquire about preferred manufacturers for the holders and tooling. The brands that I've primarily seen are Aloris and Dorian. They seem to use the same size range descriptions and I've seen claims that their tooling is brand-interchangeable within a single size range. I do not know if the KDK is compatible with any other vendor in any size range.
What preferences and opinions exist in the group for the various manufacturers (including imports) with regards to quality, longevity, ease-of-use, interchangeability among vendors, price, and availability?
