• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

I have an Aloris AXA tool post - not sure if these would fit.

250-03XX series holders are sized for CXA posts. But and this is important, there is zero consistency in the dovetail spacing so you might get holders that fit perfectly or loose.

Edited to correct misinformation. Thanks @Susquatch :)

My AXA holders are 250-1XX #'s for the SB 9A
The BXA's are 250-2XX are in the rack above the Crawford.
I've a hunch these are CXA size?
that's a darn big holder...probably would dwarf the post for the AXA setup

There is some craziness out there. For some vendors, the 250 just means aloris style and the next numbers are the size.

In other words
AXA is 250-01xx
BXA is 250-02xx
CXA is 250-03xx

The xx is the style of holder.

I've been lucky. All of my 250-02xx holders have fit my two BXA Toolposts (one plunger style and one wedge). I've had other problems though. Still, all-in-all I've been happy and I prolly have 30 holders at this point that all work.

Yes, that's true. I got my designations befuddled!
I edited my original comment to correct.

Ya, they look big compared to the pen. Prolly CXA going by the size and the numbers. The one on the right is a monster by my eyes!
