Aloris CXA-141 Boring Bar Holder Cxa Series 13-18 Inch Swing

Product Description

The ALORIS CXA-141 is a boring bar holder designed for CXA-series quick-change tool posts on engine lathes with a swing range of 13 to 18 inches. It accepts boring bars up to 1-1/4 inches in diameter and positions the cutting tool at a centerline height of 1-1/8 inches. The overall height of the holder is 2-1/4 inches. Weighing 4.15 pounds, it is built for rigid, repeatable bar positioning during internal turning, facing, and boring operations. Machinists and tool room operators install this holder as part of a modular quick-change setup to minimize changeover time between operations.

The CXA-141 is suited for medium-sized engine lathes in job shop, production, and maintenance environments where the lathe swing falls between 13 and 18 inches. It pairs with CXA-series quick-change tool post systems. Through-coolant is not supported on this holder, making it appropriate for standard dry or flood-coolant setups where coolant is applied externally. It is a direct fit for any application requiring a dedicated boring bar station in a CXA quick-change configuration.

Key Features

• Accepts boring bars up to 1-1/4 inches in diameter for internal turning and boring operations
• Centerline height of 1-1/8 inches for accurate tool positioning relative to the lathe spindle centerline
• Overall height of 2-1/4 inches for compatibility with CXA-series tool post geometry
• Designed for lathes with 13 to 18 inch swing range
• No through-coolant port - suited for external flood or dry cutting applications
• Part of the modular CXA quick-change system for fast, repeatable tool changes

Compatibility

Designed for use with CXA-series quick-change tool post systems on engine lathes with a swing of 13 to 18 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tool room technician. The lathe must be powered down and brought to a full stop before mounting or adjusting any tool post holder. The holder seats into the CXA quick-change tool post and is secured using the post's clamping mechanism - verify the clamp is fully engaged before starting a cut. Confirm that the boring bar is clamped securely within the holder and that tool height is set to spindle centerline before beginning any boring operation.
