Fixed the clock angle of my toolpost handle

Well I got it apart and it was on there tight. Here is what I I found ...

I’m glad my Dorian has a handle clocking provision built into the unit.

Yep that is why you pay the big bucks. Sometimes on the wedge style of import you can remove the threaded part I the center and reposition the handle that way. On my post that didn’t work, so I just redrilled the handle mount and move it that way.

On my Accusize-marked AXA set, the clocking is easier; just CCW rotate the ring and the gibs thread off the
bottom; then reengage them while CW rotating, on a different start of the drive screw, and
the clocking will generally be different. Just be sure both gibs engage at the same time,
you don't want one loose and the other tight. I also tried disassembly, but the
parts are apparently well fixed by some oriental clone of Henkel's threadlocker.

It's surprising the factory didn't deliver 'em clocked right.

The gibs, of course, won't thread off the bottom when the post is mounted; they'd run
into the compound.

Mine is an AXA wedge style qctp, brand unknown.

All I had to do was disassemble it (remove wedges from the body/worm gear), put the handle where I wanted it and reassemble.

Easy peasy lemon squezzey.

It also gave me a good excuse to give it a deep cleaning, remove any swarf and give it a fresh lube. Smooth as butta now…
