Aloris AXA35 Dovetail Drill Chuck Holder Series Axa

Product Description

The ALORIS AXA35 is a dovetail drill chuck holder designed for use with AXA-series quick-change tool posts on metal lathes. It accepts drill chucks and similar tooling up to a maximum cutting tool size of 0.5 inches, positioning the tool on a centerline height of 2.0 inches. Overall height is 2 inches. The dovetail interface provides rigid, repeatable seating in the tool post, minimizing runout when drilling on-center in the lathe. This holder is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians working with engine lathes or similar manual turning machines. Through-coolant is not supported on this holder.

The AXA35 is suited for engine lathes and toolroom lathes with a swing of 12 inches or under. It is a standard component in AXA quick-change tooling setups where the operator needs to hold a drill chuck in the tool post for on-axis drilling operations without removing the workpiece from the chuck. The dovetail connection allows fast tool changes while maintaining consistent centerline alignment across setups.
