Aloris BXA-10 Knurling Turning Facing Lathe Tool Post Holder

Product Description

The ALORIS BXA-10 is a knurling, turning, and facing tool post holder designed for use on metal lathes with a swing capacity of 10 to 15 inches. Built for the BXA quick-change tool post series, this holder accepts tool bits ranging from 1/4 to 5/8 inches and accommodates cutting tools up to 2-5/8 inches in maximum size. The centerline height is 1 inch, with an overall height of 1-3/4 inches. It does not include through-coolant capability. Licensed machinists, toolroom operators, and production shop technicians install and use this holder during turning, facing, and knurling operations on the lathe.

The BXA-10 is suited for engine lathes and toolroom lathes in the 10- to 15-inch swing class. It is commonly found in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where quick-change tooling is already established in the BXA series. This holder fits directly into a compatible BXA quick-change tool post without modification, enabling fast tool changes between knurling, turning, and facing operations during a single setup.
