Abstract
An optical presetter for precision alignment of a tool on a machine turret to be positioned on a lathe or the like. The presetter includes a base support, a light source, an adjustable carriage, and a viewer with a reference. When a tool is mounted on a turret and the turret is mounted on the carriage with the tool in the light beam; the tool can be precision aligned by moving the tool relative to the turret and noting the change of the tool image on the viewer.
