7PCs Set 0XA Wedge Type Quick Change Tool Post Set For Mini Lathe up to 9" OXA TOOL POST

This bolted right up to my Harbor Freight 7x10 lathe. The QCTP comes with a riser block attached to the bottom you'll want to remove if you have a 7" lathe, it is not necessary.The kit was exactly as described. Each piece was individually bagged inside of individual carboard boxes inside of a larger box, and was covered in a heavy coat of light machine oil for rust protection.It has a very solidly build and was trivial to install. Just remove your OEM tool post and the stud it screws into. Remove the nut that holds the stud and riser block to the QCTP. Remove the riser block (if it is not needed to get tools to the center of your work). Install the new stud. Put on the QCTP and re-fasten the nut. Screw the handle onto the handle rod, and then screw this assembly into the hole on on the ring at the top of the post.It has not budged from its place and is much more rigid than the OEM tool post. But, most importantly, while the OEM tool post only supports 5/16" tools, this one supports 1/2". Switching to 1/2" tools made an instant and notable improvement in my sound and quality of cuts.I am a very inexperienced machinist, so YMMV on how helpful 1/2" tooling is, but it certainly seems to work a lot better!

So much better than a stock tool post! Well worth it!!

The OXA Wedge Type Quick Change Tool Post is ok and it looks sturdy and well made. It is good for a Mini Lathe 7" and maybe up to 9", as they claim. Mine is a 7"x12. Good enough. The only bad thing that happened with mini lathe is that under the OEM tool post I found a raised ring about 18mm in diameter x 3mm high. The OXA type tool post comes with a square flat plate at the bottom. Therefore, I cannot install the OXA type post unless I open up a recess hole under the flat plate to fit the base of the carriage. Still waiting for a 18mm lathe bit to arrive to do the job. Other than that, I cannot tell more of its operation.

This product works well with my 9X20 Jet Lathe. Good quality, Easy to adapt and fit.Had to make a new, longer post bolt. The only thing I would like to see is a size between the OXA and the 1XA. OXA is a bit small for my compound.

Best tools for the price on Amazon. Work great on Grizzly 0765 metal lathe. Better quality than most I've used.

This is a great upgrade for my lathe with a couple of modifications. I didn’t like the plastic knob on the handle so I made a new one out of aluminum. I took it apart and de-burred all the internal parts for a much smoother operation. I also made a new top nut that locks it to the cross slide from mild steel added a steel rod and aluminum knob. This makes it much easier to rotate the holder as needed from time to time. I purchased several more of the 250-001 tool holders for some other shape tools. I have a small lathe and am just a hobbyist, so this worked great.

Solid built. Works way better than the flimsy light weight aluminum version.

Didn’t fit my lathe without extensive modifications.That’s the only reason I rated it so low, otherwise a very well made tool
