Aloris 3-BS Cxa Tool Post Holder Set 5 Piece

Product Description

The ALORIS 3-BS is a 5-piece CXA series quick-change tool post holder set designed for engine lathes with a swing range of 13 to 18 inches. The set ships with four dedicated holder styles plus the tool post itself, giving a machinist or toolroom tech a ready-to-use setup for the most common turning operations. At 23.35 pounds, the set is built to the rigidity standards expected of CXA tooling. The 3/4-inch bolt hole diameter suits the standard mounting boss on CXA-compatible banjos and compound rests.

This set is suited for use in job shops, toolrooms, and production environments where a mid-size lathe in the 13-to-18-inch swing class is the primary machine. The five included pieces cover turning, facing, boring, and parting operations without requiring separate holder purchases. It is typically installed and used by machinists, tool and die makers, and skilled trades personnel working on manual engine lathes.
