Dorian Tool 73310101004 Quick Change Tool Post Cxa

Product Description

The DORIAN TOOL 73310101004 is a wedge-type quick change tool post designed for metal lathes with a swing range of 14 to 17 inches. Built to CXA series specifications, it accepts a centerline height range of 1.25 to 2.25 inches and stands 6.75 inches overall in height, with a tool post height of 5.625 inches. The wedge-style locking mechanism provides rigid tool holding with repeatable positioning, allowing machinists to swap toolholders quickly without losing setup. This tool post is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians on manual engine lathes in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments.

The 73310101004 is suited for engine lathes in the 14 to 17 inch swing class, which covers a common range of South Bend, Clausing, and similarly sized manual lathes used in job shop and toolroom settings. The 0.75 inch bolt hole diameter accommodates standard lathe compound rest mounting. The unit ships with a machinable blank T-nut or bolt shaft, allowing the installer to fit the post to the specific compound rest without purchasing a separate stud kit.
