A tool holder adapted to be swivelly mounted on a lathe turret includes an open channel to horizontally support an elongated cutting tool projecting outwardly to operate on a rotating workpiece. Dowels are insertable in aligned holes vertically defined at predetermined locations through the tool holder. The placement of two pins in a desired alignment relative to a line of reference permits the adjustment of the tool holder upon the face of the turret to locate the tool horizontally at a selected angle with the workpiece. Snap rings are close fitted to the dowels so as to frictionally engage the dowel along its length, fixing the position of the dowels in the vertical holes. In a particular embodiment the lower surface of the tool channel is coplanar with the mounting surface of the tool holder. A shim can be inserted to raise the lower channel surface to accommodate the centerline requirements of lathes designed for larger diameter tools.
In a tool holder for a lathe, releasably mounted on a lathe turret for linear and pivotable motion about a vertical bolt received in the confines of a vertical bore of oblong cross-section traversing the tool holder, said bolt having one of its ends engageable in a groove formed in said lathe turret, said tool holder further comprising means for supporting a tool projecting outwardly therefrom to operate on a workpiece rotating about an axis, the improvement comprising
