Aloris AXA-1 Turning Facing Lathe Tool Post Holder Axa

Product Description

The ALORIS AXA-1 is a turning and facing tool post holder designed for use with AXA-series quick-change tool post systems on engine lathes with a swing of 12 inches or under. It accepts cutting tools from 3/16 inch to 1/2 inch and provides a centerline height of 15/16 inch, making it a direct-fit solution for precision turning and facing operations. The holder measures 3 inches in overall length and 1.5 inches in overall height. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians install this holder as part of a modular quick-change setup to reduce tool-change time and maintain repeatable centerline height across multiple cutting tools.

The AXA-1 is suited for light-duty to mid-duty turning and facing work on manual engine lathes in job shops, toolrooms, and maintenance machine shops. It is compatible with AXA-series quick-change tool posts, which are typically used on lathes with a 12-inch swing or smaller. The holder is a standard Number 1 configuration within the AXA series, making it a common first-purchase holder for shops setting up or expanding an AXA quick-change system.
