Aloris 3-SET Cxa Tool Post Holder Set 7 Piece

Product Description

The ALORIS #3-SET is a 7-piece Series CXA quick-change tool post holder set designed for engine lathes with a swing range of 13 to 18 inches. The set includes a tool post and six holder styles, giving a machinist or toolroom technician a ready-to-use collection of the most common turning, boring, and cutoff holder configurations. At 30 pounds, the set reflects the heavy-duty cast and machined construction typical of CXA-series tooling. The 3/4-inch bolt hole diameter matches the standard mounting pattern for this swing class. No coolant-through feature is included in this configuration.

This set is suited for mid-size manual engine lathes found in job shops, maintenance departments, toolrooms, and vocational training facilities. The CXA series targets lathes in the 13-to-18-inch swing class, a common range for general-purpose turning work. The included holder styles cover standard external turning and facing, boring and turning, cutoff and grooving, and threading applications, making this set appropriate for shops setting up a lathe from scratch or standardizing on a single quick-change system.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or qualified lathe operator. Power down and lock out the lathe before mounting or removing the tool post or any holder. Secure the tool post to the compound rest using the appropriate stud and nut for the 3/4-inch bolt hole; verify that the post seats fully and does not rock before taking cuts. Confirm holder repeatability and tool height alignment with a test cut on scrap material before production use.
