A solid tool post mount is made to replace the compound on a SouthBend SB1001 lathe CNC conversion. This done to improve rigidity and range of tool sizes available on an Aloris AXA quick change tool post. Since converting the lathe to CNC, the compound is rarely used and it’s lack of rigidity has created problems.
