Value Collection 950-13021 Cxa Lathe Tool Post Holder

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 950-13021 is a CXA Series Number 2 Boring, Turning, and Facing Tool Post Holder designed for use on lathes with a swing range of 13 to 18 inches. This holder accepts cutting tools and tool bits from 1/2 inch up to 3/4 inch, with a maximum cutting tool size of 3/4 inch. Overall height is 2-1/8 inches and overall length is 3.62 inches. The centerline height is 1-7/16 inches. Installed on a quick-change tool post system, it allows machinists to position and lock boring, turning, and facing tools with repeatable accuracy during production and job shop work.

This tool post holder is suited for manual engine lathes and turret lathes in the CXA size class, typically found in job shops, maintenance departments, and machine tool training environments. The CXA series accommodates lathes in the 13-to-18-inch swing range, making it a common fit for mid-size engine lathes used in general-purpose turning operations. It does not include through-coolant capability. Machinists performing external turning, facing passes, or boring operations will find this holder appropriate for those standard lathe workflows.
