The G stands for gristle, obviously
So I have a question, surprise surprise, I have a PM supplied BXA QCTP, it expands against the dove tail i.e. the actual dove tail shifts to get wider to lock it on and I have had no issues with tool holders; but, I have a friend who has an AXA QCTP he bought to go on a small lathe and he has had some issues. His QCTP has a (for lack of a better term) foot which extends out of the center of the post and pushes out on the center of the the holder to lock it, the dove tail does not expand into it, that piece sticks out further than the center of the post, any chance you are running into this situation?
I can see good and bad in both. On my friends "Piston type" the piston never fully retracted, might have been the way it was designed, so he had to be picky with the tool holders he bought... I am not certain which type the Grizzly has.Your tool post is the "wedge type".
Your friends is the "piston type".
In my experience the high-quality (more expensive) suppliers use the wedge-type.
That's why I have the piston type......

I like the Post Adam Booth uses but the price is a bit over my budget...I think originally Aloris were piston type- now it seems all the high-priced spreads have migrated to the wedge
I think Adam uses a Mutlifix.Which type is that?
It might be quality for China, they have a different measuring stick than I do. the Pizza Hut is Shin zen was pretty good though... LOL. You know, the difference between Mexican food in the states and in Mexico is reasonably close; but the difference between Chinese food is huge as in not even close to the same but there were a number of items I wish I could get in the states....
