Aloris AXA-10 Knurling Turning Facing Lathe Tool Post Holder

Product Description

The ALORIS AXA-10 is a knurling, turning, and facing holder designed for use with AXA-series quick-change lathe tool posts. It accepts tool bits ranging from 3/16 to 1/2 inch and handles cutting tools up to 2-1/2 inches. The holder stands 1-9/16 inches overall height with a centerline height of 7/8 inch. Machining professionals and skilled tradespeople install this holder when setting up manual lathes for knurling passes or turning and facing operations. It is built for repeatable tool positioning and fast changeover in production or job-shop environments.

The AXA-10 is suited for lathes with a swing of 12 inches or under. It fits into the AXA quick-change tool post system, making it a standard choice for benchtop and mid-size engine lathes commonly found in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and vocational training environments. No through-coolant port is included, so this holder is intended for dry or flood-coolant setups where coolant is applied externally.
