Source for 250-100 QC tool holders that actually fit the QCTP

Looking for a few more 250-102 tool holders for my AXA style 250-100 chinesium QCTP that will actually fit the QCTP.

I purchased 2 from KMS tools yesterday and they won’t even slide on the QCTP. They look to be decent quality but just won’t slide on at all.

The box for the toolholders is marked “250-102 tool quick-change 102 V groove mag-HTQC 102”

The KMS toolholders themselves have no markings on them.

The 8 Toolholders I have that came with the used lathe and QCTP fit perfectly and appear to have been ground and are each marked

Anyone know a source for ones that actually fit?

I will be returning the ones I bought from KMS tools but they have none left in stock at the Calgary store or I would just bring the tool post with me to make sure any the have actually fit.

Don’t really want to order from Amazon as it appears a lot of buyers have the same issue.

The QCTP I have is marked “250-100 China” so I have zero idea who made it and whether it is to spec or not.

So frustrating.

Any help is appreciated.

All my accusize tool holders fit. If you do go that way, don't forget our forum discount.

It might well be that your tool post is out of spec. Is it the wedge or the piston style? Either way, they can be modified to increase the tolerance with a bit of work.
 
Just a note. If you get Amazon free shipping it will save more than 10%, depending on your order size. I did a quick look, and Accusize 0250-0102 are $0.96 more on Amazon, but I would save the $24 shipping charged by Accusize.
But remember to go through our Amazon affiliate link on the home page.
