Aloris DA-6 Multiple Tool Post Holder Lathe

Product Description

The ALORIS DA-6 is a Series DA multiple tool post holder designed for engine lathes with a swing range of 17 to 48 inches. It accommodates tool bits ranging from 0.5 to 1 inch and accepts cutting tools up to 1 inch maximum. The overall height is 3.25 inches, with a centerline height of 2.125 inches. Machinist and toolroom professionals install this holder as part of a quick-change tool post system, allowing multiple tools to be staged and positioned without repeatedly resetting centerline height between operations.

The DA-6 is suited for production and job-shop turning operations on mid-size to large engine lathes. Its multiple-holder configuration makes it practical in setups where several turning, facing, or parting tools need to remain indexed and ready during a single workpiece run. The 17 to 48 inch swing coverage makes it applicable across a broad range of manual lathe platforms commonly found in maintenance shops, toolrooms, and contract machining environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists familiar with quick-change tool post systems. Power down and bring the lathe spindle to a full stop before mounting or repositioning any tool holder. Verify that the holder seats fully and locks securely in the tool post before initiating a cut. Confirm centerline height alignment against the workpiece or a known reference point prior to each operation.
