Abstract
A tool holder for use on a wood lathe provided with a bed rail and a support block slidably mounted thereon comprises an arm and mounting means mounting one end of the arm on the block in an outwardly extending direction. A sleeve fixed to the other end of the arm transversely thereof rotatably and slidably receives a post. A clamp associated with the sleeve fixes the post in a selected position of sliding and rotational adjustment. An adjustable ram is fixed on the outer end of the post transversely thereof. A knife block attached to the inner end of the ram mounts a knife in operative position with respect to the work.
Claims2
A tool holder for use on a wood lathe fitted with a bed rail and a support block slidably mounted thereon, the tool holder comprising:
- a. an arm,
- b. mounting means mounting the arm horizontally on the support block for longitudinal and rotational adjustment about a vertical axis, with the arm extending outwardly therefrom,
- c. a sleeve fixed to one end of the arm transversely thereof,
- d. a post slidably received vertically in the sleeve and thereby mounted movably both longitudinally and rotationally,
- e. clamp means on the sleeve for clamping the post therein in a selected position of longitudinal and rotational adjustment,
- f. longitudinally extensible ram means fixed transversely to the outer end of the post and disposed in a horizontal plane parallel to the arm, and
- g. knife mounting means mounted on the outer end of the ram means, and comprising:
- 1. a knife block arranged to support a knife, and
- 2. pin and socket means on the knife block and outer end of the ram for supporting the knife block for rotational adjustment relative to the ram.
A tool holder for use on a wood lathe fitted with a bed rail and a support block slidably mounted thereon, the tool holder comprising:
- a. an arm,
- b. mounting means mounting the arm horizontally on the support block for longitudinal and rotational adjustment about a vertical axis, with the arm extending outwardly therefrom,
- c. a sleeve fixed to one end of the arm transversely thereof,
- d. a post slidably received vertically in the sleeve and thereby mounted movably both longitudinally and rotationally,
- e. clamp means on the sleeve for clamping the post therein in a selected position of longitudinal and rotational adjustment,
- f. longitudinally extensible ram means fixed transversely to the outer end of the post and disposed in a horizontal plane parallel to the arm, the ram means comprising:
- 1. an elongated hollow cylinder secured to the post,
- 2. an elongated ram mounted slidably in the cylinder for longitudinal reciprocation relative thereto,
- 3. an elongated screw threaded to the inner end of the ram and extending therefrom through the end of the cylinder opposite the ram, and
- 4. retainer means interengaging the cylinder and screw for confining the screw against longitudinal displacement relative to the cylinder while allowing its rotational movement relative to the cylinder and ram, whereby rotation of the screw causes longitudinal reciprocation of the ram relative to the cylinder and screw, and
- g. knife mounting means mounted on the outer end of the ram means, the knife mounting means comprising:
- 1. a knife block arranged to support a knife, and
- 2. pin and socket means on the knife block and ram for supporting the knife block for rotational adjustment relative to the ram.
