Aloris AXA-6 Multiple Tool Holder Axa Series Lathe

Product Description

The ALORIS AXA-6 is a multiple tool holder designed for use with AXA series quick-change tool post systems on lathes with a swing of 12 inches and under. It accepts tool bits ranging from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch and provides a centerline height of 1.0 inch with an overall height of 1-9/16 inches. The holder is built for consistent, repeatable tool positioning, making it a practical choice for shops running production or general turning work. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this holder as part of a modular AXA quick-change setup to hold multiple cutting tools simultaneously.

The AXA-6 is suited for light to medium-duty engine lathes in both job shop and production environments. Its AXA series designation makes it compatible with AXA-standard quick-change tool posts commonly found on smaller bench and gap-bed lathes. The multiple tool holder configuration allows more than one tool to be staged and positioned without repeated individual tool setups, reducing changeover time during turning operations.
