1050 forum posts 56 photos	I recently had a rush of blood to my head and treated my Boxford to a Chronos Multifix set. So far I'm happy with it. The quality and repeatability seem OK. I've still got my Boxford 4-way toolpost though, it might come in useful for the heaviest work, as would my GHT type rear toolpost.

1505 forum posts 56 photos	The photos on Chronos's web site show a tool system that may well be sourced from Create Tool. It would be nicer if they stocked more than one type of individual toolholder and also if they used the standard Multifix part numbers, the same as everyone else do (so you know that a 150-300mm swing is really a type A, etc)
