AXA QCTP Blocks

[the penguin]

I have blocks from Aloris, Dorian, Shars, Grizzly, CDCO and possibly from a few other suppliers, all of them seem to be roughly between .010" to .012" slop from end to end on the Dorian tool post with the handle in the full open position 2:30-3 o'clock), with the exception of the two Dorian blocks, I have, they have roughly .020" to .022" slop, they also require the handle to be moved furthest to lock in position, to the 5:30-6 o'clock position, where all the others, the handle is in the 4 o'clock position.

When I had the Aloris QCTP on the lathe, the blocks all fit, the handle movement was very similar, when they were locked down.
