Product Description

The ALORIS #2-BS is a 5-piece BXA series quick-change tool post holder set designed for metalworking lathes with a swing range of 10 to 15 inches. The set includes a Style 1 Turning and Facing Holder, a Style 2 Boring, Turning, and Facing Holder, a Style 4D Heavy-Duty Boring Bar Holder, a Style 7 Universal Parting Blade Holder, and a BXA Tool Post. The 5/8-inch bolt hole diameter is standard for BXA-size tool posts. At 17 pounds, the set is built for shop use and is typically installed by machinists or tool and die professionals working on manual engine lathes.

This set is suited for general-purpose turning, facing, boring, and parting operations on mid-size manual lathes in job shops, maintenance facilities, and training environments. The BXA series is sized for lathes with 10 to 15 inches of swing, making it a common fit for many standard engine lathes in this class. The included holder styles cover the most frequently used operations in day-to-day lathe work without the need for additional holders in most standard turning setups.
