Value Collection 950-11111 Tool Post Series 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 950-11111 is a Series 100 tool post designed for use on engine lathes with a swing range of 9 to 12 inches. It mounts to the lathe compound rest via a 0.5625-inch bolt hole and stands 3.875 inches in height, providing a stable platform for securing cutting tools during turning operations. Weighing 2.03 pounds, this tool post offers a rigid, low-profile setup suited for light to medium-duty lathe work. It is a standard replacement or upgrade component installed by machinists and toolroom operators working with small to mid-size engine lathes.

This tool post is appropriate for manual engine lathes found in job shops, maintenance facilities, vocational training environments, and small-scale production settings. The Series 100 designation corresponds to a common sizing standard used across rocker-style tool post systems. It is intended for lathes with a 9- to 12-inch swing, making it compatible with a widely used range of benchtop and floor-model engine lathes in that size class.
