Aloris BXA-71 parting tool holder question

[Stonebriar]

Thank you gentlemen.

So I have my tool holder set up so the adjustment screw is on the backside of the holder. Am I wrong? Works fine.

You are not wrong.

You are not wrong.

See if I do this enough, I can post without even using my brain. Sorry, folks, I apologize.

Thank you gentlemen.

@Stonebriar Did you ever get this resolved? Did Aloris send you the correct clamping nut?

 

[Stonebriar]

I did a RMA back to MSC and they sent me a new one. It was made properly. I copied your mod to get it on center. About a 1/16 to low.

You say yours is 1/16 low? I just bought the same set up and it is low as well. The adjustment nut wont raise it high enough before it bottoms out to get the cutter in the center of the work piece. I have an old aloris piston style holder, do you as well? The only thing I see to remedy it is make a spacer plate to go under the tool post. What is your set up and did you figure out how to remedy it being low?

David Best posted this in a different thread. Looks like this is what you need.

Can you post a link please? Thank you for the reply.

I don't have a link. Looks easy enough to make, especially if you have a mill. If not, a band saw and a drill press.
