Dorian Tool 73310101008 Quick Change Tool Post Series Da

Product Description

The DORIAN TOOL 73310101008 is a wedge-type quick change tool post designed for engine lathes with a swing range of 17 to 32 inches. Built to Series DA specifications, it features a tool post height of 7-3/8 inches and an overall height of 8-1/2 inches. The centerline height range runs from 2 to 3.578 inches, accommodating a variety of turret and saddle configurations. At 54 pounds, this is a heavy-duty unit intended for professional machine shops and industrial turning operations. A machinable blank T-nut or bolt shaft is included, allowing the installer to fit it to the specific lathe spindle thread and compound rest slot.

This tool post is suited for mid-to-large engine lathes in production and job-shop environments where fast, repeatable tool changes are required. The wedge-style clamping mechanism provides rigid tool holding and consistent tool height repeatability, which is critical in precision turning, facing, and boring operations. The Series DA designation places this unit in a size class appropriate for lathes typically found in heavy industrial, toolroom, and maintenance machining settings. Installation is performed by qualified machinists or machine tool technicians.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or machine tool technician. The lathe must be powered down and the main disconnect locked out before removing the existing tool post or modifying the compound rest.
