A while back members were discussing Accusize Used Tool sales on eBay.

I spotted this:

I've always wished that my BXA piston style was a wedge instead. So I bought it at a good price figuring there was prolly nothing wrong with it that I could not fix.

I'm guessing that whoever originally bought it didn't realize he had to machine the t-bolt to fit his compound.

It was a relatively quick job on the lathe and mill.

Here is is installed.

It fit perfect and works great. What I like most is that the tool height doesnt change when you crank down the wedges.

The extra thread on the TBolt will give me the room I need to install a second Lever to tighten the nut with.

That might be my next project.

Sorry for all the swarf in the photo. I didn't clean up yet after turning the nut. My mill is full of swarf too.
