Nicely done! <br><br>I go back and forth on wanting a Multi-Fix style tool post like this one. I researched all kinds of tool posts, and eventually went with an Aloris-style wedge-type tool post, thinking that it would be much easier to make custom tool holders. But I can't deny that the versatility of the Multi-Fix is super appealing to me, in spite of the more "complicated" tool holders (and I have yet to make any custom tool holders for the wedge-type). The ability to rotate the tool post to multiple angles, and return to a reliable zero is really awesome.

Oh my gosh...something not made in China! Looks very nice, I may look about for them...I USE AXA (sized) tool holders, haven't heard of AXA the company.

I didn't even know that such small multifix toolposts were available. From a quality manufacturer like AXA I suspect they are the better part of the cost of a new mini-lathe.

Man, you went from 0-100 <i>REAL</i> quick with this one. Just skipped all the steps in between and went straight for the good stuff.

Love your channel. Thanks for showing how you change the gears on your lathe to cut threads. I have a small lathe and could not figure out how to read the change gear settings until now.<br>Cheers from South Africa.
