About the Quick-Change Tool Post and Holders

This accessory brings to your Sherline lathe the ability to change tools quickly and easily. It uses a dovetail design to locate removable holders in a fashion similar to that used in production machine shops. The case hardened steel tool post has two machined dovetails to accept the three included tool holders. The three interchangeable tool holders are designed to hold a 3/8″ round boring bar, a 1/4″ HSS cutting tool, and a cut-off blade (cutting tools are not included). Each holder has two knurled brass knobs; the lower knob allows you to easily adjust the height of the tooltip, while the upper brass knob locks the height in place. Changing tool holders is simply a matter of releasing the locking screw on the tool post, sliding out one tool holder, sliding in another, and re-locking. If you find your jobs require a lot of tool changes, this timesaving accessory will make your projects that much more of a pleasure.

Using the Quick-Change Tool Post with the Compound Slide

You can now mount the Quick-Change Tool Post on top of the Compound Slide (P/N 1270) using a 10-32 x 2″ SHC Screw* (P/N 40730, sold separately). See the Compound Slide instructions for details on using the compound slide and quick-change tool post together.

*NOTE: You must use the Headstock Riser Block (P/N 1297) to use the Quick-Change Tool Post, or any other tool post when mounting them to the top of the compound slide. Other tool posts may need to be modified in order to get your cutter on centerline.
