Description: |
| Claim:
This invention is directed to an improvement in tool posts designed more particularly for holding square or flat tools and constructed with a view to permitting the reversal of the tool in the post and the adjustment of the tool in all directions.
The primary object of the present invention is the provision of a tool post constructed as a single block and formed to provide a tool-receiving channel extending entirely through the block, the rear wall of which is formed at each end for the reception of a pair of adjusting bolts, with the top wall formed adjacent each end for the reception of a pair of spaced clamping bolts and the bottom wall formed from the transverse center of the block in oppositely sloping inclined wedge-receiving surfaces with either of which, according to the position of' the tool, a wedge cooperates to underlie and support the tool, with means cooperating with the wedge and the block for adjusting the wedge for initially positioning the tool vertically of the block and holding the wedge immovably in the adjusted position. |
