    Default Morse taper tool holders for the lathe.

    SAM_0566.jpgSAM_0567.jpgSAM_0568.jpgHello from The old goat. I had a question on how I drive MT tools in the lathe so I dragged the equipment out for a few pics.
    The first pic shows 2 turret lathe MT sockets with 1 1/2" OD. Easy to fit to a lathe tool holder. I buy them from USA surplus tool sellers, from memory $118 ea. They come in handy on my horizontal borer for use in the snout tool holder.
    Second shot shows the auxliary tool post on top of the cross slide. When in use it slides into the grooves front and rear of the cross slide. It has T slots on top.
    Third shot has the MT driver that bolts to the aux tool post. Also the QC tool holder in the background has a MT socket to mount the drill chuck.
    2 different ways to power feed drills on the old Mazac mate.
    Regards

    Thanks for the info and piccys.

    I've just had a head-slap moment regarding my own Takisawa lathe. Its also got the slots on the cross slide and I've wondered numerous times what would actually mount on them, and also wondered on different occasions how I'd go about mounting something on the cross slide if I wanted to bore it in the lathe.
    The idea of a t-slot block that fits into those slots never crossed my mind
    Another project for the growing list!
