Aloris EA Wedge Type Quick Change Tool Post 25 in Up

Product Description

The ALORIS EA is a wedge type quick change tool post designed for lathes with a swing of 25 inches and up. It mounts to the lathe compound using a 1-1/4 inch bolt hole and provides a centerline height range starting at 3 inches. The 24-position indexing system allows fast, repeatable tool changes without losing reference. At 65 pounds, this is a heavy-duty unit built for production turning environments. A mounting wrench is included. Machinists and tool room technicians working on large-swing lathes install this post as a direct upgrade or replacement for worn or undersized tool holders.

The EA series tool post is intended for industrial and production lathe applications where the lathe swing measures 25 inches or greater. It suits manual engine lathes and toolroom lathes in metal fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and contract machine shops. The wedge-type locking mechanism delivers rigid, repeatable tool holder seating across all 24 index positions, making it well-suited for high-cycle turning operations where setup time and tool rigidity matter.

Key Features

• Wedge-type clamping mechanism for rigid, repeatable tool holder seating

Compatibility

Designed for use with lathes in the 25 inch and up swing class that accept an EA series wedge type quick change tool post with a 1-1/4 inch mounting bolt.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or tool room technician. Power down and de-energize the lathe before mounting or removing the tool post. Secure the post to the compound rest using the correct bolt diameter and verify that the centerline height aligns with the lathe spindle centerline before tightening. Do not overtighten the mounting bolt, and confirm all tool holders are fully seated and locked before starting a cut.
