About the 1/4-3/8″ 2-position Rocker Tool Post

The P/N 40180 Sherline 1/4″ tool post comes standard with 4000-series lathes and is intended to hold 1/4″ HSS or brazed tip carbide cutting tools that are ground to the proper height. A rocker tool post P/N 3057 comes standard on 4400-series lathes. The rocker allows the height of the tool tip to be adjusted to accommodate tools that may have been ground a little above or below the part centerline. A 3/8″ holder P/N 7600 will accommodate 3/8″ round or square shank cutting tools. Now Sherline offers an optional 2-position tool post that will hold both 1/4″ and 3/8″ square shank tools and also has the rocker feature on each side to allow for adjustment of the tool tip height.
