Figure 22 shows tool post and a holder with
optional bit. Cutting tools can be secured and
removed by tightening or loosening the clamping
screws in the top of the holder. A threaded stud
is mounted in the top of the holder and has a
knurled thumb wheel. Rotating the thumb wheel
allows for adjustment of the tool holder so the
cutting tool can be centered. The handle on the
tool post can be rotated to lock and unlock the
tool holder onto the dovetail ways. The tool post
may be rotated by loosening the nut at the top of
the tool post.
