Description: |
Claims:
This invention relates to holding devices for cutting tools or bits for use with machine tools and more particularly to that type which supports the cutting tool in a socket adjacent the point of engagement with the work.
In operation of machine tools it is desirable that the cutting tool may be removed, replaced, and adjusted without disturbing the tool setup otherwise. For example, in lathes employing plural cutting tools side by side, it is an important factor in efficient operation that the operator be enabled to remove or adjust the cutting tool while the tool holder is in its operative position. Tool holders have been devised previously for facilitating this operation which secure the cutting toll in a tool retaining socket extending transversely of the tool holder body. These prior art devices, however, are subject to certain disadvantages such as the requirement of multiple and complex parts, inadequate support for the cutting bit, and a tendency to loosen when subjected to vibration and shock. |
