Tool post
the included tool post is a 200 series piston-type
quick-change model. the quick-change lock lever
allows for one or more tool holders to be quickly
loaded and unloaded in two available dovetailed
slots. By having extra tool holders and setting the
tool height in advance, swapping between tool-
ing is efficient for production-sensitive schedules.
When loosened, the mounting hex nut shown in
figure 39 allows the entire tool post to rotate 360°
for angle adjustments.
To load a tool holder:
1. install the required cutting tool in the tool
holder.
2. Move the quick-change lever (see figure
45) to recess the lock piston and provide an
unobstructed slot for the tool holder to slide
down into.
3. slide the tool holder into position, and tighten
the quick-change lever.
4. use the handwheels to bring the tool to the
required position.
5. double check that tool angle, height, and
position are correct.
6. Make sure that all fasteners related to the
tool, holder, and tool post are tight.
