Aloris CA-1I Turning Facing Tool Post Holder Series Ca

Product Description

The ALORIS CA-1I is a Series CA Number 1 turning and facing tool post holder designed for metal lathes with a swing range of 14 to 20 inches. It accepts cutting tools up to 1 inch and positions the tool centerline at 1-13/16 inches, with an overall height of 2.5 inches. Weighing 3.1 pounds, the CA-1I is built for rigidity and repeatable tool positioning in turning and facing operations. It is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians on compatible quick-change tool post systems.

The CA-1I fits lathes in the 14 to 20 inch swing class, making it appropriate for mid-size engine lathes commonly found in job shops, toolrooms, and production environments. It is used for standard outside diameter turning and facing passes. The holder does not include through-coolant capability, so flood or mist coolant must be directed externally if required. It accommodates a single cutting tool and is compatible with the Aloris Series CA quick-change tool post system.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. The lathe must be powered off and the spindle fully stopped before mounting or adjusting any tool post holder.

Follow the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines and applicable shop safety standards during tool changes.
