    Toolholders and

    Toolholding for the Lathe

    TOOLHOLDERS/TOOLHOLDING FOR THE LATHE
    Introduction
     For lathe work, cutting tools must be supported
    and fastened securely in the proper position to
    machine the workpiece.
    ◦ There are many different types of toolholders available
    to satisfy this need.
     Anyone working with a lathe should be able to
    select the best toolholding device for the
    operation performed.

    TOOLHOLDERS/TOOLHOLDING FOR THE LATHE
    Toolholding for the Lathe Carriage
     An important aspect of lathe toolholding is rigidity.
    ◦ If tool bits or inserts are not well supported or overhang is
    too great, vibration & tool chatter will often be the result.
     Tool posts are mounted on the compound rest and
    held securely by a T-bolt.
    ◦ The most commonly used
    are the quick-change types,
    more versatile than the
    standard post.

     The tool post shown here uses double vees to locate
    the toolholders, which are clamped and released from
    the post by turning the top lever.

    • One of the most common toolholding devices
    used on a tailstock is the drill chuck
    – Used for holding straight shank drilling tools.

    Toolholding for the Lathe Tailstock
     When a series of operations must be performed
    and repeated on several workpieces, a tailstock
    turret can be used.
    ◦ The tailstock turret shown
    has six tool positions.
    ◦ One is used as a workstop.
    ◦ The other positions are
    for center drilling, drilling,
    reaming, counterboring,
    and tapping.

    REVIEW
     Name two different types of toolposts used on
    engine lathes.
     Which type of toolpost has become obsolete and is
    rarely used in industry?
     State some advantages of the quick change
    toolpost.
     What type of taper is found in the tailstock spindle?
