After my bad experience with a couple of Indian made toolholders, (Got my money back). I bit the bullet and ordered two from Rotagrip. Made in Poland. The finish is streets ahead of the Indian clones, and they fit my Boxford toolpost, smooth as silk. Twice the price of the Indians, but you get what you pay for. Hats off to Ian (Rotagrip/Fordeight) who even managed to get them to me from inside France, saving a few £'s on the postage. Highly recommended.

Toby, I just had the same experience buying a couple of Indian made toolholders for my Boxford badged toolpost. The claw on the back of the holders, which are supposed to engage with the piston head of the toolpost were too thick, compared with a genuine Dickson, by between 0.74 and 0.65mm, (both were different), The Ebay seller, techtoolsuk told me that the holders were manually ground, and compared against a master copy of a Dickson toolpost. I suspect that the master copy was of the 'Dickson style' toolpost imported by the same company. Since then I've been unable to find an importer who will guarantee compatibility with an English made toolpost. I'll just have to keep looking for secondhand and hope I don't get trampled in the rush.
