i just bought a turret style tool holder for my 9" south bend lathe, it is kind of a rare piece for a 9".
to index the tool you just lift the lever and it disengages a pin and allows you to turn the turret. the turret locks in 4 place (90 degrees apart). if you unlock the turret you can lift it right out.
when i lifted the turret block out for the first time i thought about making a new block that would hold boring bars.
so after a days worth of turning and milling here it is. ;D
and another pic showing the bottom
it should be a great addition to my shop when it comes to turning allot of similar parts.
