Hello all! First time poster here.
I want to be able to hold a 1/2" diameter shank boring bar on my existing lathe tool post but don't know how to make sure the holder fits.
The Tool Post we have is a Phase II 250-111 (see attached image).
"Phase II
9 to 12 Inch Lathe Swing, Wedge Type Quick Change Tool Post
3-7/8 Inch Tool Post Height, Series 100, 4-11/16 Inch Overall Height"
The boring bars have 1/2" shank diameter. I'm hoping to get a different brand for the tool holder because it is cheaper.
There are two I'm considering:
(1) Value Collection - Tool Post Holders Series: AXA Tool Post Holder Number: 4
(Tool Post Holders; Series: AXA ; Tool Post Holder Number: 4 ; Tool Post Holder Type: Boring, Turning & Facing Holder ; Lathe Swing (Inch): 12 & Under ; Through Coolant: No)
(2) Value Collection - Tool Post Holders Series: BXA Tool Post Holder Number: 2
(Tool Post Holders; Series: BXA ; Tool Post Holder Number: 2 ; Tool Post Holder Type: Boring, Turning & Facing Holder; Lathe Swing (Inch): 10 to 15 ; Through Coolant: No)
How do I know which one will fit? I'm confused by the OXA or AXA as I don't see that specified in the description of the Tool Post.
Thanks in advance
