Aloris BXA-20 Turning Tool Post Holder Carbide Inserts

Product Description

The ALORIS BXA-20 is a turning tool post holder designed for carbide triangular inserts, built for use in the BXA quick-change tool post system. It accepts TNM332 triangular inserts with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and 3/16-inch insert thickness, making it a reliable choice for general turning operations on mid-size lathes. The holder stands 1-3/4 inches overall height with a 1-3/16-inch centerline height. Through coolant is not supported. Licensed machinists and experienced machine operators working in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments will find this holder a straightforward fit for BXA-compatible setups.

The BXA-20 is suited for lathes with a swing range of 10 to 15 inches. It is commonly used in manual turning operations where carbide triangular inserts are preferred for general-purpose material removal. This holder is a standard component in the BXA series quick-change tooling system and is a direct fit for any BXA-compatible tool post. It is appropriate for both production and toolroom environments where consistent centerline height and repeatable tool positioning are required.
