I have a Porper B Q-lathe on the way.
I bought a BXA-200 after reading another post here on AZ about them.
I can not find the post I was reading but from the measurements it sounded like the one to get.
It is very heavy and that is what has me wondering if it will fit my Porper Q-Lathe.
I will need to get the nut machined to match the T-slot on the lathe but I think it is the correct height and will not need a spacer under it.
Can anyone confirm this is correct?

On Joes B Lathe I hooked up the quick change tool post same as on my big boy lathe with no problem. Unless they changed from the 1st and 5th one you should be able to do it with no machining.

Show some picture... Im getting mine machined it will be done tomorrow and I will post it. I got the AXA though not the BXA... They said the BXA is bigger....
 
Yeah Joey, They dont make one just for a Porper lathe.

What is the swing of the Porper lathe?

They list a lot of lathes that are compatible but Porper is not on that list.
So ... I was hoping someone that has been thru this could help me on the correct model to get and what if any spacers will be needed.

I guess I will know all this when I get the lathe later this week but I was trying to have the parts ready for it.
I am hoping I can fit what I have without sending it back.
