Lathe Tool Posts & Holders

Lathe tool posts and holders help machinists and shop operators position and secure tooling for lathe work. This category includes a compact turning tool holder for small-lathe turning applications and an axial driven-tool configuration for BMT55 lathes, supporting commercial machining setups where tool position, orientation, and clearance matter.

Use Cases

Match the holder to the operation

Use the 2-R turning tool holder when positioning a turning tool for work on a small lathe. Choose the ER25 axial driven tool for applicable BMT55 machining arrangements that require an in-line driven-tool orientation.

How to Choose

Confirm lathe fit and tooling interface

Identify whether your application calls for a small-lathe turning tool holder or a BMT55 driven-tool configuration. For the axial option, confirm the need for ER25-compatible tooling, in-line rotation, and a 57.2 mm gauge length.

Applications

Plan around tool position and clearance

The compact turning tool holder measures 3 in. wide by 2 in. deep by 4 in. high for space-conscious setups. The axial driven tool's stated gauge length helps operators plan positioning and clearance.

Additional Information

Review stated operating values

For the BMT55 axial driven tool, the stated rating is 8,000 RPM with a 40 Nm torque rating. The 2-R turning tool holder is available with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start With Your Lathe

Choose between small-lathe turning and BMT55 driven-tool work

These products are designed for different lathe configurations. The 2-R holder provides dedicated turning-tool holding for small lathes, while the ER25 axial driven tool is designed specifically for BMT55 lathes.

  • Select the 2-R holder for small-lathe turning-tool positioning.
  • Select the axial driven tool for a BMT55 lathe setup.
  • Do not treat the two product types as interchangeable lathe interfaces.
Check Tooling and Orientation

Align the setup with the required tool arrangement

The ER25 axial driven tool supports ER25-compatible tooling and provides an in-line rotation orientation. Its 57.2 mm gauge length is a useful planning detail when evaluating tool position and clearance.

  • Confirm an ER25-compatible tooling setup is required.
  • Choose in-line rotation for applicable axial machining arrangements.
  • Use the 57.2 mm gauge length when planning the setup.
Review Space and Operating Requirements

Use the stated dimensions and ratings for planning

For compact shop layouts, the 2-R turning tool holder measures 3 in. wide, 2 in. deep, and 4 in. high. Where the application requires a driven-tool configuration, review the axial tool's stated 8,000 RPM and 40 Nm torque ratings.

  • Consider the 2-R holder dimensions for space-conscious setups.
  • Review the 8,000 RPM stated rating for the axial driven tool.
  • Review the 40 Nm stated torque capacity for the axial driven tool.
