Gibraltar Tool Post

Designed by Tubal Cain, who spent a lifetime in the engineering industry and was well known for his contributions to the Model Engineer.

This is a substantial, no-nonsense tool post fitting directly onto the boring table (cross slide) of the Myford Series 7 lathe and is very suitable for taking heavy cuts or when working with an overhung tool. It can accept industrial HSS and Carbide Insert tools with shanks up to ¾" square; a feature that affords additional rigidity and economy.

We supply one iron casting suitable for the above lathes, plus the screws to complete the kit. A drawing and working instructions are included.
