What is an American tool post?

An American style tool post is a square tool post designed for a center lathe. It can be rotated, is square and dove-tailed on all four sides. The dove tails allow tool holders with cutting tools clamped in it to be inserted and locked in place. This style of tool post decreases production time due to its ease of function and preset tool center heights.


What degree of angle is the tool post for chamfering?

If you are using a 45 degree tool there's no need to set the tool post and you can just cut it by feeding the cross slide. If you are physically going to cut a chamfer with the compact slide, then you should set your tool post to 45 degrees.


What are the advantages of the tool post?

The tool post in machining provides several advantages, including precise positioning of cutting tools for accurate measurement and consistency in machining operations. It allows for quick and easy tool changes, enhancing productivity and reducing downtime. Additionally, a well-designed tool post can improve stability and rigidity, leading to better surface finishes and extended tool life. Overall, it enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of machining processes.


Why is it necessary that the tool be clamped tightly in the tool post?

If the cutting tool is not tightly clamped in the tool post it could move when a cut is taken. This can result in the tool penetrating the workpiece as the cut progresses causing an undersized workpiece. It can also eventually bite into the workpiece and possibly cause damage to the workpiece, the lathe, the cutting tool and even injury to the machinist and others in close proximity.

What is the function of a tool post of a lathe machine?

The tool post allows the user to control a cutting tool (such as a chisel) more accurately - to produce better results. The tool post holds the lathe tools that will be required for each cutting operation required in that part of teh production process. Each post can hold up to four differing tolls - example. Facing tool, knurling tool, long reach internal cutter and then a parting tool. The tool post rides on the saddle on a horizontal plane and the in a cross feed. Most tool feeds can be set to automatic where cutting speed is set and the movement of the post on the saddle automated
