I have poked around online, but cannot find any AXA toolholders
with the dovetail, and height screw, but left un-machined at
business end.
Would like to make up some specials.
I could ask around and see if anyone wants to knock you out a dozen or so ...I have poked around online, but cannot find any AXA toolholders with the dovetail, and height screw, but left un-machined at the business end.

(ducks and runs for cover )
Are you sure AXA isn't ''Harry home shop'' sized tooling?
How about buying some AXA-6 holders and cutting off either the top or bottom lug...
Then welding or bolting your 'special' to the remaining lug?
How about buying a bunch of AXA-35s, and throwing out the chucks. There’s a bunch of meat on the mounting lug that could be machined to hold a special cutter.
Intriguing, but I don't see those "cheaply".....
Amazon has them for $247 each
If you're not in a rush I've been meaning to make myself another short run of BXA and CA holders. Aside from drills and taps all the other tooling should be the same
Aloris style holders aren't difficult to make. I probably made a dozen sets at one time or another. The two critical feature characteristics are the size over pins and the dovetail angle. I forget what that angle is but I only had a 45 degree cutter and had to crank the milling head to compensate.
Doesn't take long to machine dovetails on a bunch of blanks. Hold the blank dimensions close and it's pretty much a vise and stop rod job. Couple three hours maybe to make ten BXA sized blank holders with dovetails out of 4140 pre-HT steel.
Create Tools made three or four blank Multifix holders on request when I bought a slug of tool holdiers from them and early on I made some R8 shank blanks for mill spindle tooling. Handy items, blank toolholders etc. Gives you money making options when those really odd jobs come in the door.
Yup, I'm thinking further, a simple "L" shape would be most universal. IIRC Hardinge made something similar.
Drill and tap the height adjuster all the way thru so I can
flip it over.
It will work on the facing dovetail, or the turning dovetail,
and the "L" will reach around either corner.
I'll model some ting' up.
I might buy a few if anyone makes a small run.
But, has anyone asked Aloris for some?
