This is easy. Get RID of that hideous monstrosity! I got a Phase-II
dovetail toolpost as one of the fist machine upgrades I ever bought,
and it was a great purchase! The machine was SO much stiffer.
Also, the holders allow you to preset the tool height, and every time
you put it on, it sits right at the correct height. These are usually
advertised as a Dorian or Aloris-type post.
