I have a mini-lathe (7x12) and installed a A2Z qctp on it a couple years ago. It came with a parting tool holder, boring bar holder and 2 tool holders.
The tool holders are labeled part # qcth1. I would like to add 2 or 3 more holders, but trying to find them or any info on the company turns up less than stellar results.
Anyone have any info regarding A2Z Corp. or where the tool holders may be found? It's my understanding the company was sold with the intention of the new owner continuing on, but..........?????

Thank you in advance...

This is interesting. Comes up on searching “A2Z” on Amazon for $32.80 for a whole set. Looks like same size. Need to see if it would match the A2Z set but if not you could buy 2 of these then sell your A2Z set for $90 on eBay.

Could buy 3 of hose sets and sell the extra posts with some holders you don’t want and end up with lots of holders for no money.

Bill, I have an A2Z I bought from LMS several years ago and hasn't been used in a long time. If you would like to have it I will start looking for it--we moved a few years ago and some stuff still hasn't been unpacked and put up (don't want get in hurry :grin:). Actually I have seen it here so just have to find it again.
 
I have it in the back of my mind that A2Z sold out to a foreign company....... Mind might be fooling with me though.

if you are like me, You must have put it up where it went, Problem is now it is foggy about where that was.
If I remember correctly tA2Z went under back in 2016 or something like that. I have one of their QCTPs on my sherline. Have to make any holders I want.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the A2Z QCTP an OXA? If so, the current crop of generic OXA holders should fit, no? I'm sure LMS will know the answer, Bill.

Thanks for the tip on Amazon. I read the reviews, compared the measurements with mine (within .004 or less in all directions, the only measurement not given was the dovetail) and one of the reviews said you could buy just the tool holders for about $10. I finally found them and they want $6 for the holder and $4 each for shipping. I opted for the complete set. Ordered it today, should be here Monday. Regarding the dovetail, if it's to small, I can fix that on my mill, too big, possibly shims. Anyway... thanks again. As soon as I get the kit, I will post the results of fit & finish for all to see.
