Group,
When it comes to Quick Change Tool Posts, I imagine there are some standards out there, right? I see Aloris, Phase II and imports have different nomenclature. Since I was duped into thinking I was acquiring an Aloris tool set (ARG! Why didn't I check better???) I am not really certain what I have. Some of the tool holders are in fact Aloris, but the tool post and the other tool holders are definitely a Chinese knock off. I am thinking I have AXA. How do I know?
And if I do have AXA, I have seen there is AXA2, AXA19? What the hickory hock?
On the other hand, I see a number such as 250-10x on the knock offs. I have seen that PHASE II uses these numbers, although my holders do not say PHASE II, hence I assume they are imports.
Here are the numbers I have:
250-101
250-102
250-104
250-107
AXA2
Curiously, the AXA2 looks quite similar to the 250-102, so should I assume this is the secret code? An Aloris Tool will be AXA#, whereas a PHASE II and knock offs will be 250-10#?
