WTB: AXA tool holders

[kylemp]

I sold my monstrosity of a colchester lathe and the tool post and holders that went with it. I'm now looking for teensy tiney ones.. Axa wedge style. Turns out that the ones from busy bee and probably kms do fit. If you've got some you don't need anymore please let me know.

For what it's worth I bought these for my Aloris clone.
They work just fine.

Hm, they're actually like 28 bucks a piece from busy bee if they have them in stock, fyi

I live in BC so the win for Bangood is that I don't pay any duty or taxes, just $5 shipping. Busy Bee will charge me GST & PST adding 13% to the cost.

KMS lists the holders @ $38, on sale for $33.

Get them of Amazon - they have free shipping and last time I saw them they were like 20 each.

If it is a clone tool post the originals may be to small - the import ones are usually bigger and fit on anything.

looks like went up in price to $24 with free shipping.

If you need more then 1 - they are under $20 with free shipping - https://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-6-12-AX...=233614795046bd53f5877e56470fb86b416881acfe44

I bought a few Bxa off amazon from accusize and they are surprising nice and were cheap. $20ish each.

Just be aware some of the offshore suppliers throw around naming terminology that may or may not be what you want. A, B, #2, 200-series....
This one shows tool holder shank size that can be accomodated. Notice both 1/2 and 5/8 on the same AXA block. And 5/8 & 3/4 on the same BXA block. Other places just offer one or dont mention at all. Once upon a time I think there were specific standards like 5/8 for BXA so I'm not sure if they are expanding the depth versatility wise?

Here's just the post then you could buy the specific holders you want, there doesn't seem to be any discount on getting the set together. You may find use ones from member's here or ebay.

My little lathe uses AXA if someone has them for $20 I could buy one or two off them.
