Square Tool Post

This is used to hold four different tools at a time. The tool holder may be rotated and clamped to facilitate the use of any one of the tools at a time. The details of the square tool post are shown in image. The tool holder is located on the base plate by means of the stud. It can be fixed to the base plate in any position rigidly by the clamping nut and handle. The knob is fitted to the handle for smooth operation. The tools are held in the tool post by means of the set screws. Each tool can be indexed readily by rotating the tool holder on the base plate and located in the correct position by the spring and the ball. The ball is seated in the V-groove, provided for this purpose in the base plate.
