Nice surprise on Aloris tool post

No, you're explanation is fine, and probably true. Only way around that is to chamfer the thread bore @ 60° instead of 45°, which nobody does. No biggie, just make the boss a little smaller than the slot to allow for it. You don't want it super close fitting anyway.
 
Found out today that I was right in this case. It did move the "center" of the piece over a bit. Fortunately I had left a little extra on the sides so I could fit it to the compound better. I just ended up taking all the extra off the long side.





The center was still a bit too high so I put it back in the chuck and faced it off 'til it was below the top of the compound slide.

Mission accomplished!



Man, you can use the BXA handle for a club. That thing is huge!

Thanks. Now I can go ahead with making a part to get my shaper up and running (Once I decide what I'm doing on the motor. :rolleyes:)

Thanks for the great explanation of how you did the t nut. Been looking for a QCTP and the T nut fabbing was holding me back, and the OBVIOUS solution was staring me right in the face! (Well, it is obvious NOW!!)

THANK YOU!
 
They sell on Amazon as well. I ordered a couple Aloris AXA tool holders from them. Best prices around and responsive service (I ordered mail order via email).

You're very welcome. Just shows that "the lack of a mill is the mother of invention", or something like that. :lmao:

Glad you find it useful,
