Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 950-12221 is a Series 200 tool post designed for use on metal lathes with a swing range of 10 to 15 inches. It provides a rigid, repeatable mounting point for turning tools during machining operations. The post stands 4.625 inches tall and accepts a bolt hole diameter of 0.625 inches, making it compatible with standard compound rest mounting hardware. At 4.05 pounds, it offers the mass needed to dampen vibration during cuts. This type of tool post is typically installed and serviced by machinists in job shop, production, or maintenance environments.

This tool post is suited for manual engine lathes and toolroom lathes in the 10-to-15-inch swing class. It is commonly used in metalworking shops where operators need a stable, repeatable tool-holding solution for turning, facing, and boring operations. The Series 200 designation indicates the size class, matching the post to lathes within the specified swing range for proper fit and rigidity.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Before mounting, power down and lock out the lathe at the main disconnect following applicable LOTO procedures. Secure the post to the compound rest using the appropriate stud and nut through the 0.625-inch bolt hole, and verify the post is centered and level before torquing the hold-down hardware. Do not exceed the swing range rating, as mismatched tool post sizing reduces rigidity and can create unsafe cutting conditions.
