Hi Arron. Enjoyed the machining on the top slide. High speed parting off with no coolant making the washer. Just thinking about it my parting tool would have snapped off lol. Tony

I do miss the interpolation of my cnc machines and just getting it done but at least I still have manual machining. Could be worse I guess. Beautiful Tool Post...Ciao...Ricko

Gday Aaron, the Dorian tool post is a bloody nice bit of gear, one day I hope to have one but not in the near future, Cheers

Great upgrade! The lathe I am learning on has a similar tool post. They are definitely worth their money!

Wow 👏👏👏 Nice bit of kit mate ‼️ Liked the ‘combination CHOP suey ’ vid. ( excuse pun)…With both legacy and futuristic machine tools being used… 🤣🤣🤣🤣 BTW…. can you fit one of them ‘40 position’ QC toolposts to the POHMy lathe? 👍 Robert

Hi Aaron. Nice job on the Dorian. Must have been nervous machining the top slide on the CNC knowing that its probably irreplaceable. I don't blame you for tapping by hand. Cheers Kevin

1mm shim washer worked great👍 A lot easier than making your tummy smaller 😁

I checked the price 🙀. Not for the average hobby machinist, but looks like a very good option for small shops.

Fair play Arron, job well done ya heathen 😄

when the base is tightened it always stays straight or you have to put it straight before tightening it, thanks

That's a really nice looking tool post. Are there other advantages to an Aloris style beyond being able to hold 4 tools at once?

“I could have done it with leeches, but I decided to use modern medicine.” That’s what I heard you say anyway 😁
