Aloris CA-10 Knurling Turning Facing Lathe Tool Post Holder

Product Description

The ALORIS CA-10 is a knurling, turning, and facing tool post holder designed for engine lathes with a swing range of 14 to 20 inches. Built for Series CA tool posts, this holder accommodates tool bits ranging from 1/2 inch to 1 inch and accepts cutting tools up to 3-3/4 inches maximum size. The overall height is 2-1/2 inches with a centerline height of 1-7/16 inches, giving machinists a consistent, repeatable tool setup. Weighing 3.63 pounds, the CA-10 is sized for mid-range engine lathes commonly found in production shops and machine trades. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers.

The CA-10 is suited for turning, facing, and knurling operations on engine lathes in the 14- to 20-inch swing class. It fits into Series CA quick-change tool post systems, making it a practical holder for shops that run multiple tool stations on a single lathe. The holder is designed for through-coolant-free setups, making it appropriate for standard dry or flood-coolant operations where coolant is applied externally rather than through the holder body.
