Aloris EA-1 Turning Facing Lathe Tool Post Holder

Product Description

The ALORIS EA-1 is a heavy-duty turning and facing holder designed for use on engine lathes with a swing of 25 inches and up. It mounts to a quick-change tool post system and rigidly positions turning and facing tools at a consistent centerline height of 2-11/16 inches. The holder accepts tool bit shanks ranging from 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inches, with a maximum cutting tool size of 1-1/2 inches. At 7 inches overall length and 4 inches overall height, it is sized for large-capacity lathes found in production shops and heavy maintenance environments. Licensed machinists and toolroom operators are the primary installers and users.

The EA-1 is suited for metalworking applications on large engine lathes requiring precise and repeatable tool positioning during turning and facing operations. It is part of the Series EA quick-change tool post system, which is engineered for larger lathes with swings of 25 inches or greater. Typical use environments include job shops, production machining facilities, and industrial maintenance departments where consistent tool height and fast changeover are operational priorities.
