Multiple tool holding device for a lathe

A tool-holding device, comprising:

• a) a lathe-attachment portion, having:
• i) a base sized and shaped for placement on a turret, tool post or cross slide of a lathe and an alignment portion that aligns the base when the base is attached to the lathe;
• ii) a circular-perimeter, angled mounting apparatus integral with the base and having a plurality of equal-sized wedge-shaped, double sloped clamping portions;
• iii) a partly threaded central locking base-bore;
• and
• b) a frusto-conical multiple-tool tool-holder having an upper surface, a lower surface, slanted sides, and a central bore:
• i) the lower surface having an equal number of equal-sized wedge-shaped, double sloped clamping surfaces to mate with the clamping portions of the base;
• ii) the upper surface having a plurality of equally-spaced insert pockets for attachment of tools, with one tool per insert pocket, with the pockets capable of holding tools that are identical or different from tools held by other pockets;
• and
• iii) tools affixed in the insert pockets;
• wherein the tool-holding device is attachable to a lathe using a distally threaded turnable locking piece for placement in the central bore and for locking the tool-holder to the base by threading the locking piece in the partly threaded central locking base-bore.
