Product Description

The DORIAN TOOL 73310100400 is a CXA Series No. 1 turning and facing holder designed for use on metal lathes with a swing range of 14 to 17 inches. It mounts to a quick-change tool post system and positions cutting tools accurately and repeatably for turning and facing operations. The holder measures 2.49 inches overall height and 3.75 inches overall length, with a centerline height of 1.835 inches. It accepts cutting tools up to 1 inch in size. Machinist and toolroom professionals install this holder when setting up a CXA quick-change tool post system on a manual lathe.

This holder is suited for job shops, maintenance machining operations, and production turning where a CXA-size quick-change post is already installed. It is commonly used on mid-size manual lathes in the 14 to 17 inch swing class. The No. 1 designation indicates it is a standard turning and facing configuration, the most common holder type for general-purpose external turning and facing cuts. Through-coolant is not supported on this holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with quick-change tool post systems. Ensure the lathe is powered off and the spindle is locked before mounting or adjusting any tool post holder. Set the cutting tool height to the lathe centerline using the holder's centerline height dimension as a reference starting point, and verify alignment with a reference gauge before cutting. Follow the tool post manufacturer's clamping torque recommendations when securing the holder to the post.
