Me again, sorry.

So, I have a Hercus 260 as some of you will know. New to turning, love it, I'm out there every evening after work having a go and getting the hang of it.

'Turning is learning' but bloody hell I seem to spend a lot of time farting around changing tools with my standard setup...out with one, in with the other, check, shim, next operation, do it again...ugh.

I see that AMWH has adaptor studs available for the AXA 100 type quick change tool posts. And I see that these tool posts are available all over the place for not much cash, from the standard Chinesium online stuff to H&F (that is likely the same).

Are you using one of these? What do you think?

Also, I see that the AXA 100 tool holders have capacity for only a 14mm max tool. One of my favourite tools is a WNMG that is 16x16mm and I don't see any that are smaller than this. Would I be better off with the bigger capacity AXA 200?

Pardon my ignorance...
