Lathe BXA Tool Post Accessories

About the model

Tool storage mounts (for BXA tools and MT3 tools) that fit on the back of the chip tray for a King Canada KC1236 lathe along with a tool post dial indicator holder. For BXA size tools holders and tool posts. Inspired by other models I've seen, but none of them fit properly so I made my own. The indicator holder is for a standard 2-1/4" diameter lug back dial indicator (AGD2). Designed for a 3/8"-16 UNC stud installed in the top hole with a nut for tool height adjustment. The indicator is mounted with a 1/4"-20 UNC x 3/4" long screw (an M6 x 18 or similar should work as well). Both holes are dimensioned as the tap drill size for the two imperial threads listed above. I would recommend running a tap down into these holes before installing the screw/threaded rod but it may be possible to install them directly and have them form their own threads.
