Where to buy SL Tooling?

[Gujustud]

Does anyone know if there are any 'other' manufactures of the SL lathe tooling, such as the BOT20ID-2? ie: not looking at buying Haas, as I think they are super overprice.

TIA!

Make your own?

I Think that Parlec makes tooling for SL lathes.

In reguards to tooling for lathes, Does anyone know which toolpost is better. Aloris, Dorian or Phase II. This is for a TL-2 Lathe and I want to use 1" stick tools. I am leaning to the Dorian. I do not care about cost for something like this. I am concerned about quality and repeatability.

I like both Dorian and Aloris...both repeat very well

As for the orginal post try Global CNC. I was able to find tool holders for a Cincinnati Hawk lathe. I think they're one of the best sellers of VDI tooling along with other tool holders. www.globalcnc.com
