Diamond tool holder

[Rob]

They never replied to my inquiry. Anybody have any recommendation what I would need to order for my 10x22 AXA tool post? It is a bit ...I don't know....unorganized (their website) Like I said before, don't want to get the wrong thing and or forget pieces needed.

I believe this is there US supplier. https://secure.villagepress.com/store/items/list/group/415

I'm using the .250, but there is a 5/16" also either one will do on an AXA

Hmmmm...not seeing that @Aukai at 9.5mm tool overhang has a 12.7mm shank (.5")
It also has a technique for measuring, With QC at it lowest point, measure the top of the lower ledge of the holder to the center line of spindle. With a QCTP, I could have a pretty sizable number there if I wanted. Again, a bit confusing.

Actually, there are 3 sizes that use 1/4” tool bits and 2 sizes that use 5/16”. The 8, 9.5 and 12mm tools use a 1/4” tool bit. The 16 and 20mm use a 5/16” tool bit.

I believe the largest tool holder shank that an AXA tool holder can hold is 1/2", which makes the 9.5mm Diamond Tool Holder the largest it can accomodate.

FWIW, I have an LMS 3540 (Sieg SC4) 8.5x20 lathe with an LMS 0XA QCTP and after trading emails with the US distributor (Bay-Com at the time) I bought a 9.5mm RH/LH set of tool holders that fit and work just fine.
