Aloris CA-2I Boring Turning Facing Tool Post Holder

Product Description

The ALORIS CA-2I is a Series CA Number 2 Boring, Turning, and Facing Holder designed for use on engine lathes with a swing range of 14 to 20 inches. It mounts to a compatible quick-change tool post and accepts cutting tools up to 1 inch in size, positioning the tool centerline at 1-13/16 inches. At 2-1/2 inches overall height, this holder provides a rigid, repeatable setup for boring, turning, and facing operations. Machinist and tool room technicians rely on this style of holder for consistent tool changes without losing center height reference. Through coolant is not supported on this model.

This holder is suited for general-purpose lathe work in job shops, maintenance departments, and production environments running lathes in the 14 to 20 inch swing class. It is appropriate for both ferrous and non-ferrous material removal operations where a single holder needs to cover boring, straight turning, and facing cuts. The Series CA designation identifies the tool post size class and must be matched to the corresponding ALORIS CA-series quick-change tool post for proper fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Power down and de-energize the lathe spindle before mounting or removing any tool post holder. Ensure the quick-change tool post is the correct Series CA size before seating the holder. Verify cutting tool centerline alignment to the workpiece centerline after installation using a dial indicator or test cut before beginning production work.
