I had a couple of choices for tool holders for my hercus lathe in the arsenal.
as you can see the CX toolpost wouldn't barely fit on the compound...
i have a Shenwai 12x36 that also has a AXA clone.
i figured if i equipped the Hercus with an AXA ,
i'd really only need to buy 1 facing/turning holder for it and share the other holders 4 holders that came in the original set.
i purchased the first AXA from Shars (Discount Machine -ebay) about 4 years ago and was pleased with the performance, so i figured i couldn't go wrong with installing a proven asset.
here's a pic of the difference between a CX and a AXA toolpost...
i found a great deal on the AXA post all by it's self ready for shipment from:

it shipped fast.
i cut and milled the T nut and mounted it on the Hercus with ease!
a perfect fit and an easy project that added great versatility, at a discount price!
thanks for reading!
