I have a #4 and 5 holders.
Now the problem is only lathes I own is south bend 9A and just recent ( in restoration/ peices) south bend 10L
This #4 is deff to big.
I could use the money and just sell it...
Or horde it until the inevitable time comes.when I upgrade my machines swing capabilities with a 3rd larger swing machine. ?:)

Oh and my 10L doesn't have a tool post so maybe a trade.?

Are you talking tool holders, or a post? I could really use some #4 tool holders.

I have the post and five holders I'd rather bundle it all together or whichever will net me a maximum amount of profit so I can buy some standard AXA china doll post that I can use

And holders it really stinks only having two I'm not sure what this post is worth but I'd like to assume I should be able to get the $150 AXA and but ton of $20 holders
 
If you need to sell it, you need to sell it, but I though I'd offer my own cautionary tale. I found a #2 tool post in the Penn State machine shop scrap bin many years ago, bit had a tiny jewelers type lathe at the time do I sold it. Many years later, I got a South bend heavy 9 and bought another #2 for it. I should have kept the original one and the micrometer bed stop I found with it!

Wow I'd take that stop myself now as well! Yeah one day I'll have a 16 swing and I'll be kicking myself for selling it then but I guess it is what it is if I could get money invested back that's what I'm living day by day not decade by decades so to speak

I have the AXA and a dozen or more holders with it. I figured I'd sell it with my Atlas when I get the Nardini up and turning, but I'd be better off if I can source some more FIMS kit. Cash? Trade?
