BXA (200) series quick change lathe tool holder rack.

thingiverse

I have a small Grizzly lathe that has a sheetmetal back splash guard and I wanted to create some tool holders that keep my lathe tools on the sheetmetal. I retrofitted the factory cross slide tool holder with a Shars BXA series quick change holder that works very well. I made these so I can slide them over the sheet metal and hang the preset tools on the back for quick access. Some of the holders like the boring bars were just too heavy to use magnets, so this was the best way to do it. I printed these with 20% infill and made them to support a good amount of weight. I filleted the top to make it easier to swap tools on the holder. The groove in the back just slides over the sheetmetal and provides good solid support for taking them on and off.
