Aloris AXA-20 Turning Holder Carbide Triangular Inserts Axa

Product Description

The ALORIS AXA-20 is a turning tool post holder engineered for use with carbide triangular inserts on engine lathes and manual turning centers. Designed for the AXA quick-change tool post system, this holder accepts TNM332 inserts with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 3/16-inch thickness. The overall height is 1-1/2 inches with a centerline height of 1-1/8 inches. Through-coolant is not supported. Weighing 1.58 pounds, the AXA-20 is a compact, production-ready holder suited for machinists and tool room professionals who require consistent, repeatable insert positioning during turning operations.

The AXA-20 is intended for lathes with a swing of 12 inches or under, making it well suited for benchtop and mid-size engine lathes common in job shops, maintenance departments, and precision machine shops. It is used in standard external turning applications where carbide triangular insert geometry is preferred for general-purpose stock removal and finishing passes. The holder drops into any AXA-compatible quick-change tool post without additional fitment work, allowing fast tooling changes between operations.
