Abstract
A lathe tool assembly includes a pair of set screws that reduce vibration of a work piece that is being machined. A clamp set screw passes through a clamping assembly to a chip breaker that covers a cutting bit. The end of the clamp set screw bears against the chip breaker. A lateral motion inhibitor screw engages threads within a hole within a cutting bit holder and threads within a hole through the cutting bit.
