The cutting-off and side-tool holder shown in the cut is made by Carr Bros., Syracuse, N. Y. The construction followed is novel, and provides for holding the blade very rigidly. This is especially necessary in the case of the cutting-off tool.
As may be seen in the cut, the regular tool post of the lathe is used for holding the tool. The ring and rocker are removed, and the body of the holder is dropped down over the post. A key is then inserted through the holder into the slot of the tool post, and the set screw tightened down with a wrench as usual. This clamps the holder firmly in position. The cutting-off tool blade, after being set to project the proper amount for the work in hand, is clamped by a strap held down by two cap screws as shown. In changing from a right- to a left-hand tool, the holder is merely swung around 180 degrees to use the other end of the blade. For a right- or left-hand side-tool, the same device is used, but with the cutting-off tool blade replaced with a side-tool blade. |
