FS: Aloris AXA 5C collet holders

I have 3 Aloris AXA 5C collet holders in new shape. One is missing the collet nut.

$40 each holder, plus shipping. Will Ship USPS Flat Rate or whatever you prefer.

I'll take one.

I am TEMPTED to say I'll take one, too.

However, I'm not sure I understand what they are or do.

We have a South Bend 10L lathe that has a 5C holder and we also have some 5C collets and collet fixtures such as a spin indexer.

Upon doing an ebay search I saw several critters like yours but they mentioned "CNC" holders.

My dumb question is:

Are these a CNC accessory? Or do they have utility in the world of manual machining?

If for example one of these tool holders would enable me to easily chuck up a boring bar or some other tool into the tool post, then I would indeed like to have the other one that is not missing the collet nut.

If it's a CNC only doo-dad, I would have no use for it.

Would you mind educating me about this point?

Thanks!

Vernon

I think I've answered my own question by reviewing an ebay offering.

If the answer is indeed "Yes! These can be used for a quick tool shank change on a manual lathe with an AXA tool post" then I will take the other one.

If the spare collet nut can be purchased for not too much money and you will price the third one accordingly, I will take them both.

Under the circumstances, I suggest we go to PM and negotiate.

I'm in for one of the complete ones at $40 though.

Thanks!

Vernon

Ok, that was fast.

I have PMs from both of you. I will get shipping figured out tomorrow.

For now, consider all 3 sold.

Thanks guys.

If by some chance one should become available even without the nut I will take it.

Payment sent. Thanks.

Steve

All of these holders are paid for and boxed up. Shipping them out in the morning. Thanks guys.

Got it today. Looks great. Thanks!
