The most often equipped option for the TL series lathe for holding your turning tools is the Aloris Single Station Tool Post option. This system allows for setting individual tools in their own respective holders, and allows for a repeating, quick change system, that has extensive options to allow for safe holding of a wide variety of different tooling products.

All that is required of the operator to switch from one tool to the next, is to swing the handle in a counterclockwise direction to release the current tool, pull the tool-holder up and off of the Aloris dovetail, slide on the next tool onto the Aloris dovetail, and swing the lever till clockwise to firmly clamp the tool-holder against the tool post.

CAUTION: Please take care to never change tools while the machine has the spindle turning or while the axis are moving!!

For the lubrication points shown above, a general purpose lithium grease is required with enough volume to push grease out from the front and back of the linear ways, and from around the ball screw bearing housings.;
