Aloris CXA-6 Multiple Tool Post Holder Cxa Series

Product Description

The ALORIS CXA-6 is a multiple tool post holder designed for use with CXA-series quick-change tool post systems on engine lathes. It accepts tool bits ranging from 3/8 inch to 5/8 inch and provides a centerline height of 1-5/16 inches with an overall height of 2-1/8 inches. This holder is built to mount multiple cutting tools simultaneously, reducing setup time between operations. It is installed by machinists and tool room operators working on lathes with a swing capacity in the 13 to 18 inch range. The unit weighs 4.13 pounds and does not include through-coolant capability.

The CXA-6 is suited for production and jobshop lathe work where rapid tool changes and consistent centerline repeatability are priorities. It fits lathes in the 13 to 18 inch swing class paired with a CXA quick-change tool post system. Typical applications include turning, facing, and similar operations where multiple tools need to be staged and ready for sequential use without re-indicating center height between changes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Before mounting or removing any tool holder, disengage the lathe spindle and confirm the machine is fully stopped and locked out. The holder seats onto the CXA tool post stud and is secured with the post's locking cam or nut per the tool post manufacturer's procedure. Verify centerline height alignment with a test cut or dial indicator before running production.
