Aloris BXA-8 Threading Tool Holder Bxa Series

Product Description

The ALORIS BXA-8 is a threading tool holder designed for use with BXA-series quick-change tool posts on engine lathes. It accepts threading tooling and positions the cutting edge at a centerline height of 1 inch, with an overall height of 1.75 inches. Built for lathes with a swing range of 10 to 15 inches, this holder is a direct-fit component for the BXA quick-change system. Machinists and tool and die technicians working in production and job-shop environments will find it suitable for both external and internal threading operations where repeatable tool positioning is critical.

The BXA-8 is intended for mid-size engine lathes commonly found in job shops, maintenance departments, and training facilities. Its design fits within the BXA quick-change tool post system, allowing fast tool changes without re-indicating centerline height between setups. It is well-suited for threading passes on ferrous and non-ferrous stock where consistent tool height and rigidity are required during single-point threading operations.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists familiar with quick-change tool post systems. Power down and disengage the lathe completely before mounting or removing any tool holder. Verify that the tool holder seats fully and locks securely in the tool post before initiating any cut. Follow the lathe and tool post manufacturer guidelines for proper clamping procedure.
