Gang tooling for a computerized numerically controlled lathe

A gang tooling for a machine tool having a main spindle with an axis of rotation, a longitudinal carriage movable along a z-axis parallel to the main spindle axis and cross-slide carried by the longitudinal carriage and movable along a x-axis transverse to the main spindle axis, said gang tooling comprising:

• longitudinal plate;
• first means for removably securing said plate to the cross-slide such that said plate is transversely disposed relative to the main spindle axis when secured to the cross-slide;
• a plurality of tool holders removably secured to said plate along a row,
• second means for removably securing said plurality of tool holders to said plate along the row such that each of the tool holders is individually removably secured to any one of a plurality of adjustable longitudinal positions along said plate;
• said first means cooperating with the cross-slide such that said plate can be removed from the cross-slide without disturbing and removing the tool holders installed on said plate, thereby permitting the tool holders to remain secured to said plate at their original relative positions.
