Tool post - A quick change tool post and 2 tool holders are supplied with the Model G4002/3. Figure 22 shows tool post and a holder with optional bit. Cutting tools can be secured and removed by tightening or loosening the clamping screws in the top of the holder. A threaded stud is mounted in the top of the holder and has a knurled thumb wheel. Rotating the thumb wheel allows for adjustment of the tool holder so the cutting tool can be centered. The handle on the tool post can be rotated to lock and unlock the tool holder onto the dovetail ways. The tool post may be rotated by loosening the nut at the top of the tool post.
More styles of tool holders are available through Grizzly Industrial, Inc. Consult the latest catalog for styles, prices and ordering information.
