machinist's workshop-question on latest issue??

[grinch]

I'm just back from deployment and don't have the latest issue yet but am wondering if Enco has an add in there selling the PHASE II wedge type tool post 6pc. sets??

If so what is the BXA or 200 modle goin for?

I have an old one and they have it on sale for 229.95.

If thats still the price I gotta get one.

Any help would be great!!

Thanks
Grinch

Enco sale flyer pg. 28: Phase II series 200 - BN890-9637 $189.95, the piston type is $109.95
For those who don't have a quick-change toolpost, they are VERY nice to have. I wouldn't think of working without one anymore. The 100 series is only $89.95 with 5 holders included.

Grinch, I got a new Chinese bxa wedge with all the holders from ebay about a month ago for about $140. Seems well made and happy with it so far.

I ended up with a old armstrong tool post on my leblond. I had a chinese quick change copy. I saw it flex several times inducing chatter. I was turning a expensive part too. It is laying here in a box getting rusty. Probably for a much smaller lathe then what I have thou. The armstrong is made much more rigid.

My .02 cents.

WOO HOO thanks guys I got the phase 2 from ENCO!! and am happy about it.

I saw the 140.00 dollar one on ebay but wasn't sure I had several good feed back on the phase 2 so I went with it. If i'd had more on the one you got I would of course would have loved to getten it but It seems alot more people own the phase 2. Oh well I'm still happy about my purchase

Thansk fellas
