Two-position Tool Post (5/16"-3/8"), P/N 3008

It is not unusual to have to stop and change lathe tools several times while turning a part on the lathe. The change may be to switch from a left-hand tool to a right-hand tool, from a sharp-nosed tool to a radius-tipped tool, or from a roughing tool to a finishing tool. Sherline's standard tool post is sized to handle 1/4" cutting tools, but there are also tools available with larger shanks that can be useful for special jobs. Whatever the reason, each change requires a little setup time. This time can be reduced by using a two-position tool post.

This tool post is designed to hold a 5/16" (8mm) tool on one side and a 3/8" (10mm) tool on the other side. By having one or more of these tool posts with your favorite lathe tool pre-mounted in them, you can simplify your work and reduce the time required to change tools.

Other special tool posts are also available:

P/N 3003, 2-position tool post, 1/4"-1/4" for larger size lathe tools

P/N 3057, Rocker tool post

P/N 7600, 3/8" Insert holder tool post (3/8" square and round)
