Try it both ways and you will see....
Counting down the days till my lathe arrives! Arrival -six days!Try it both ways and you will see....
I do this all the time... and mount them in a QCTP holder.
For my education, can you give me some examples of when you use it?
Fwiw, I've had both and actually preferred the Piston tool post over wedge. My BXA on my Logan was a piston style. My new lathe has a CA which I bought a wedge type, and I find loading the tool holder much more finnicky. The wedge has enough play in it that it jams when loading the holder, but the Piston loads easy every time.@Tinwoodsman is that a subscription publication?

I have yet to notice any accuracy difference or advantage to the wedge style.
