Greetings and a better new year! I've seen that toolpost on your lathe in the videos. And finally found it in a Chinese version on ebay as a kit with 4 holders, which is probably 15 or 20 too few if one intends to actually use the tooltable, and fairly pricy at $350 USD.
I'm looking to replace my one side trashed BXA-250 series piston type post, obviously a no-name since theres none on it, and looking at the BOSTAR, at a pretty lowball price. Similar in design to an Aloris but 1/3rd the cost for a kit, and tool holders for simple tools are going for $55 for 3, so one could acquire enough holders that putting the tooltable to work might become practical. What advantages do you see in what you have over a basic two sided wedge which the BOSTAR is? Is it pinned against rotation? I doubt the BOSTAR is, and it stands to reason that using the tooltable requires an accurately pinned post. What disadvantages? Thanks Andy.
