Value Collection 950-14441 Quick Change Tool Post Series 400

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 950-14441 is a Series 400 quick change tool post designed for metal lathes with a swing range of 14 to 20 inches. It provides fast, repeatable tool changes without losing centerline position, reducing setup time between turning, boring, and threading operations. The base measures 4 inches wide with a tool post height of 6.25 inches and an overall height of 6 inches. The centerline-to-handle-edge distance is 9 inches, and the bolt hole accepts a 7/8-inch diameter fastener. At 10.02 pounds, the unit is built with the mass needed to resist chatter during heavy cuts. No through-coolant provision is included.

This tool post is suited for manual engine lathes in the 14-to-20-inch swing class, commonly found in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and toolrooms. Series 400 sizing targets mid-range lathes used for general-purpose turning work. It is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals who require consistent tool height repeatability across multiple holders without re-indicating between setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Power down and bring the lathe spindle to a full stop before removing or installing any tool post hardware. Secure the tool post to the compound rest T-slot using the appropriate 7/8-inch bolt and ensure the stud is torqued evenly to prevent rocking. Verify tool centerline height against the lathe spindle centerline before beginning any cutting operation.
