I'm looking to replace my one side trashed BXA-250 series piston type

I used a Phase-II AXA-sized piston post on my 10" and later
on my 12" Atlas/Craftsman
lathes with no trouble. They held without any slippage and
seemed to index just fine.
Now, this was not just any crummy Aloris knock-off, Phase-II
made good stuff in Taiwan,
I think. I now have a knockoff ("Detroit Electric Motor, I
think) CXA-size wedge poat
on my 15" Sheldon, and it is fine, too. So, I think on
smaller lathes will lower power,
the piston should be fine, **IF** it is well-made. I think
I'd trust any Phase-II unit,
but can't say for knock-offs of a knock-off.
