Aloris BXA-77I Cut-off Grooving Lathe Tool Post Holder

Product Description

The ALORIS BXA-77I is a cut-off and grooving tool post holder designed for use on lathes with a swing range of 10 to 15 inches. Built for the BXA series quick-change tool post system, this holder accepts standard cut-off and grooving blades and positions the cutting edge at a centerline height of 15/16 inches. The overall height is 1-3/4 inches. It is a direct-mounting holder intended for manual and CNC lathe applications and is typically installed by machinists and tool and die technicians working in production or job shop environments.

This holder fits lathes in the 10 to 15 inch swing class, which covers a broad range of bench and gap-bed lathes commonly found in machine shops, maintenance departments, and vocational training facilities. It is suited for parting-off stock, cutting grooves, and similar operations that require a rigid, repeatable blade position. Through-coolant is not supported on this holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists familiar with quick-change tool post systems. Before mounting or removing any tool holder, the lathe spindle must be powered down and brought to a full stop. The holder should be seated firmly in the tool post and locked according to the tool post manufacturer's procedure. Verify centerline height alignment with the workpiece axis before beginning any cut-off or grooving operation.
