5/8″ Gang-Tooling Tool Post

We designed our gang-tooling tool post specifically for our customers who want to convert their Sherline lathe into a “Chucker Lathe” or gang-tooling lathe.

Our gang-tooling tool post offers a convenient and accurate way to hold up to four tools with a known centerline-to-centerline distance of 1.500″. This tool post has (4) 5/8″ holes for customers who want to use ER-16 collet holders with a 5/8″ shank.

You can also use our WW collet adapter (P/N 2081) to hold our WW collets in the 5/8″ Gang Tool Post. Our WW collets range from .3mm to 8mm as an option to the ER-16 holder.

Considerations Regarding This Tool Post and Its Possible End Uses

There are many considerations regarding this tool post and its possible end uses. Please check the instructions for a complete list (click on the Instructions tab above to download the document). This tool post is designed to be used with our 13″ Mill Table in place of the lathe crosslide. Other recommended optional equipment includes either a Riser Plate for 8″ Crosslide or a Riser Plate for 13″ Crosslide in order for your tools to be on center-line with the headstock spindle.

NOTE: While the gang-tooling tool post will mount on the 6″ and 8″ crosslides, its size renders it unusable on either of these crosslides.
