Sheldon 10 x 56 XL (large spindle hole) lathe. What size quick change do I
need from enco for this lathe?
Will this one fit??????? This one is axa (series 100)
http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PMAKA=890-9636&PMPXNO=4882165&PARTPG=INLMK32
This one is bxa (series 200)
http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PMAKA=890-9637&PMPXNO=4882166&PARTPG=INLMK32
What is the difference between these two? Size? I've seen the axa tool posts
and they strike me as being on the smallish side. What is most appropriate,
and how do I know they will fit in the above lathe?
Secondly, I would like to bore and knurl when I receive this set. It is not
clear to me if the set includes the boring bar itself and the knurl
tool/knurls themselves?
If not, what ones to I order that will fit this tool post set?
Thanks
Darrin

AXA (100) is for "up to 12 inch", BXA (200) is for "10 to 15 inch", and
yes
the difference is size (and because of that, stiffness). The
Enco/PhaseII sets
come with knurls but no boring bars.
Even though this is not an Aloris post, we can "cheat" and use their
documentation. Their catalog at
http://www.aloris.com/pdfs/Aloris_catalog2004_FINAL.pdf
(huge, over 16M due to all the color photos) has a section on
recommended
posts for common lathes. They suggest the AXA size for your 10"
Sheldon.
I have a BXA on my 14" lathe, and still get a fair amount of chatter,
but to
be fair I believe a lot of this is coming from my crossslide and
compound.
The Aloris document suggests CXA as being appropriate for this lathe,
and
I agree on a size basis if nothing else--I had to add a 1/4" spacer
under mine
to get 1/2" bits to adjust on center. Other than that, I'm very happy
with it,
I've never even installed the lantern toolpost I got with the lathe.

Oh, almost forgot: Looks like the #4 holder in AXA will take a 3/4"
boring bar, or 1/2" with the adapter sleeve (could be 5/8?). The #2
holder will take any size round boring bar up to 1/2". In a pinch,
you can even use a drill bit with the flutes appropriately angled.

I have the same machine. I have a an AXA size and find it to be
"right". I tried a BXA size from my other machine, and while it fit, it
was big enough to seem to be "in the way" much of the time. I bought the
AXA set from this place:
http://www.billstoolcrib.com/
They had the wedge type for about the same price as everyone else has
the piston style for. They gave me free shipping, because they offered
it on their ebay page, and I asked for it. No connection, just a
satisfied customer.
My 2 cents...
Hope that helps,
Al A.

Please log in for more thread options My Sheldon 11x44 uses the AXA size just fine. It would fit the 10 as it also
fits the 9 (prior posts).
The B is larger by far. One is square bottom that must fit on your compound.
A B size is to large very likely.
The other is height - the range for a tool carrier to hit center - best fit on
the A.
The B is much higher.
Bigger isn't better - often won't fit at all ! Measure and look at the
dimensions
on the page - catalog page not the special full item view page.
