Aloris CXA-20 Turning Holder Carbide Triangular Inserts Cxa Series

Product Description

The ALORIS CXA-20 is a turning tool post holder designed for use with carbide triangular inserts in the CXA series quick-change tool post system. It accepts TNM332 inserts with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 3/16-inch insert thickness. The holder stands 2 inches in overall height, with a centerline height of 1-3/8 inches, putting the cutting edge precisely on center for consistent turning operations. Weighing 2.5 pounds, it is built for stability on the tool post. This holder does not include through-coolant capability. It is installed by machinists and toolroom professionals working on engine lathes in production and job-shop environments.

The CXA-20 is suited for engine lathes with a swing range of 13 to 18 inches. It is compatible with the CXA series quick-change tool post system, which is a widely used standard on mid-size manual and CNC-assisted lathes in general machining, maintenance, and toolroom applications. The holder is designed for turning operations using carbide triangular inserts, making it appropriate for roughing and finishing passes on a range of metals.
