Tool Post
A tool post is the part on a lathe that holds the cutting tool securely during machining operations. The post then bolts onto the compound rest via a conventional hex or Allen head bolt or a quick release locking mechanism. There are many different designs of this device which cater to various cutting bits and machining operations. A tool post may accommodate a single cutting tool or have locking facilities for several different tools. Most are static, although rotary posts are available for cutting spherical shapes.
