Aloris CA-7 Universal Parting Blade Holder Series Ca

Product Description

The ALORIS CA-7 is a universal parting blade holder engineered for use with quick-change tool post systems on engine lathes. Part of the Series CA lineup, this holder accepts parting blades up to 7/8 inch in height and is built to handle lathe swings from 14 to 20 inches. The overall height of 2.5 inches and a centerline height of 1-7/16 inches position the blade precisely at cutting center. Licensed machinists and tool room operators install this holder when setting up cutoff operations on manual lathes requiring repeatable, rigid blade positioning.

The CA-7 is suited for production and job-shop environments running engine lathes in the 14 to 20 inch swing class. It is a direct-mount holder designed to seat in Series CA quick-change tool posts, making it a common choice for shops that have standardized on the ALORIS CA series system. Typical applications include parting stock, grooving, and cutoff work on steel, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials.
