Product Description

This tool post is included with the 4000-series basic lathe. It holds 1/4″ square shank cutting tools and is not adjustable for height. If the tip of a reground tool is not on center compared to your part, inserting a small piece of shim stock under the tool may be necessary to bring it up to centerline height. If shim stock is not available, cigarette paper works well as a thin shim or a business card makes a suitable thicker shim.
