I have some KDK Toolposts and Toolholders for sale. KDK Tools are a well-known and sought-after brand of American made Quick Change Tool Post (QCTP) that are no longer available new. KDK Tools was founded in 1950.
The KDK system has the unique feature that all the sizes (except, I believe, for the smallest 00 size) have the same dovetail dimensions so the various holders are interchangeable between the different series toolposts. So, for example, you can use the 03 holder with the 100 toolpost, or the 102 holder on the series 0 toolpost.
They were originally made in Southgate, CA and the company later moved to Flagstaff, AZ before closing sometime around 2010. The KDK items I have were made in the CA facility.
Some of the toolholders I have were made by JFK Co. Precision Products in Burbank, CA. These holders are fully compatible with the KDK Toolposts.
*If I there are any errors in the information I have provided here, please post if you know the correct info.*
All items are clean, no dirt, no grease, no rust. They have the proper flat tip or dog point set screws to hold the tools.
Avoid the eBay markup and get Made in USA quality tools.
