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. Whatever the reason, each change requires a little setup time. This time can be reduced by using a two-position tool post. Each Sherline two-position tool post mounts two 1/4"" lathe tools. 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 3008, 2-position tool post, 5/16""/3/8"" 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) P/N 2250, Quick-Change Tool Holder System"
