Tom,
Another options would be to face off some material from the bottom of the collar that the handle screws into. I think that would be safer than messing with the internal parts. That should swing the handle more towards the 3 & 4 o'clock position like Willies 2nd to last picture. But then I might just be full of crap.

Tom,
I would urge you to post pictures of your QCTP before machining it.

My QCTP ends up like Willies bottom left photo. I have the exact same Phase II BXA tool post that he has.

that is exactly what mine is but when you take it apaqrt the high side of the cam is nearly right under the handle, I think someone goofed when drilling for the handler as it seems the handle sshould be on the low side of the cam. tom

Tom,
"Internal plungers"? Is this a piston type tool post? #250-200
Or is it a wedge type? #250-222

It is a piston type same like my AXA on the old logan. I look better at Willie's and see it is a wedge type, if unable to fix mine I will probably get one of them. tom

Tom, if you upgrade your BXA to a wedge I'd be curious about the Canada post cost here to NS and price you'd ask for the piston BXA.

Price would be chep for the toolpost only, I would probably keep all the toolholders. Are you able to make toolholders yourself? tom

Mayhem & I should have told you about buying from Tools4Cheap.net before you bought from "Frank" at CDCO. Much better to deal with, better quality product.
