That's nice.. i will have to find a tool head and tool holders for my lathe, i didn't get one when i picked it up.. i am torn as to which one though.. the AXA style or the Multifix style

Unless you are planning on turning your tool post to different angles alot, the standard AXA style works just fine. I have one on my 13x40 lathe.

That thing bent my Albrecht fine feed chuck arbor just moving it out of a container . BEWARE of the weight !

i believe that if i was to put something like that on the lathe.. i would be like.. "Where did the compound go to!"

that's the one i would like to have, but, it would most likely need to be a "steep pulley" with the short motor..

Got this yesterday. Worlds apart from my Irwin wrench that came with a carbon steel kit at Lowes.

Now please tell me that inserting that rod in the hole was not a satisfying experience!!! The tap wrenches I have used in the past were carp... when I got that one (I got all three sizes as well), man!, the first time I had to use it, the way you can insert and remove the handle is brilliant.... Just felt great.

I am not one to tempt people... but you really should get one of these (or better yet, all three sizes)... using it is like caressing a freshly powder coated Brembo caliper for a Porsche... trust me on this... the tactical feel of using these is something else... excuse me, I need a moment alone... will be right back...
