Aloris BXA-2IX Boring Turning Facing Lathe Tool Post Holder

Product Description

The ALORIS BXA-2IX is a Number 2X boring, turning, and facing holder designed for use with BXA-series quick-change tool post systems on engine lathes. It accommodates cutting tools up to 3/4 inch in size and provides a centerline height of 1-3/16 inches with an overall height of 1-3/4 inches. Built for lathes with a swing range of 10 to 15 inches, this holder gives machinists a rigid, repeatable setup when switching between boring, turning, and facing operations without resetting tool height. It weighs 0.7 pounds and ships as a single unit.

The BXA-2IX fits production and job-shop environments running mid-size engine lathes in the 10-to-15-inch swing class. It is a standard addition to BXA quick-change tool post setups used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and vocational training environments. Machinists performing internal boring, external turning, and facing passes on a single setup benefit from the consistent centerline height this holder delivers across tool changes.

Ensure the lathe is powered down and the spindle is fully stopped before changing or adjusting any tool holder. Secure the holder firmly in the tool post dovetail and verify the cutting tool is clamped at the correct centerline height before resuming operation. Follow the tool post manufacturer's torque guidance for the locking handle or screw.
