Very lucky mini lathe.

Big change for lathe
The tool post come on lathe is pain to use . If price a Aloris AXA with too holds it cost more than double what lathe did.
I have owned the Aloris post since the 1970's when was single and Aloris was a lot cheaper too. I just move Aloris lathe to lathe. Best buy for lathe.

Best buy
It makes the lathe.
I could have buy a cheap mini copy that fit lathe and was easy to install.

I purchased a new compound off the next smaller lathe. It same size but ½" smaller in height.
Took off the old square tool post and drill and tap 9/16 NF to fit the Aloris stud.

Now I have the finest tool post.

FYI Would have not purchased the Aloris just for this lathe but had it in box and I like the post
