Aloris 5-IP Tool Post Holder Set 17-48 Inch Lathe

Product Description

The ALORIS #5-IP is a Series DA quick-change tool post holder set designed for engine lathes with a swing range of 17 to 48 inches. The set includes three core components: a Style 1 Turning and Facing Holder, a Style 2 Boring, Turning, and Facing Holder, and a tool post with T-nut for mounting. At 58 pounds, this is a substantial, shop-grade assembly built for production and toolroom environments. The bolt hole diameter is 1 inch, which is standard for the DA series tool post. Licensed machinists and toolroom operators are the primary installers of this type of system.

This set is suited for manual engine lathes in the 17 to 48 inch swing range, covering a wide span of mid-to-large toolroom and production lathes. The DA series quick-change system allows holders to be swapped at a repeatable height without re-indicating, which reduces setup time between operations. Typical applications include turning, facing, and boring operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. This set is a practical starting configuration for a lathe being set up with a quick-change post for the first time.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Before mounting, power down and lock out the lathe per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. The tool post mounts to the compound rest using the included T-nut and bolt; verify that the compound rest T-slot width and bolt hole diameter match the DA series specifications before assembly. Do not exceed the lathe manufacturer's recommended torque for the tool post clamping bolt, and confirm tool height alignment with a dial indicator before taking a first cut.
