I'm getting fixed to set up one of my ole South Bend 9" lathes and need a need a tool post for it. I've got a box full of Aloris and Dorian AXA size tool holders but no tool post. Is it worth it to invest in a genuine Aloris or Dorian wedge style post or are the aftermarket ones any good. When I set this thing up Its time to upgrade from the old rocker style tool post.
I've got Yuasa CXA tool post that is great and an old beat up Aloris BXA that still does what it should do but have no experience with the inexpensive stuff and these days funds are limited.
