BXA on a 12x36 Craftsman commercial?

Sorry, but less money spent on the BXA would still be money poorly spent It's like putting a 2HP motor onto an Atlas simply because you found one that was much cheaper than the 3/4 HP that should be the max size..

The standard AXA #1 and #2 holders were intended for 3/8" square tooling and will hold 1/2". The #2 will hold up to 5/8" diameter round boring bars. The AXA #1XL and #2XL holders will hold 5/8" square and the #2XL will hold 3/4" round.

Actually it may be much worse if the BXA places common tooling above the spindle centerline.

I had to see for my self, so here is what it looks like.
First w/ 1/2" tool
Next two / 3/8 and shim
Third w/ 5/8
Finally, what I am using now
 
Well, you are of course free to do whatever you want to do. But you did ask for opinions and the six people who took the time to give them all said to go with the AXA.
