It accepts parting blades up to 0.5 inches in height and positions the cutting edge at a centerline height of 13/16 inches, making it a direct-fit solution for consistent, repeatable parting and grooving operations.

The AXA series is a widely adopted quick-change standard in light-duty engine lathe setups, commonly found in machine shops, maintenance departments, vocational programs, and small-batch production environments. The AXA-7 mounts directly to an AXA-compatible quick-change tool post without additional adapters, allowing fast blade changes between operations.
