So much for that experiment, I switched back to the Dorian, reset all the tool heights and packed the Aloris up. The one thing I did notice, The Aloris has a greater handle swing, than the Dorian. I also had a swarf issue, I had a sliver of metal get into the wedge mechanism, that took about 10 minutes to rectify. Probably a one in a million thing, but the Dorian wedge is more enclosed. Still not sure if one actually better than the other, but after using the Dorian for the last 2 years, I guess I've grown accustom to it being on the lathe.
