Abstract

A tool carrier for a portable lathe includes a tool slide (84) upon which tool holders (18) are mounted. The tool holders (18) are rigidly secured to the slide surfaces by means of clamps (20) that include male gibs (70) that engage female gibs in the tool holder and the tool carrier. The clamps (20) provide a bearing surface for guiding the tool carrier along the tool slide while also functioning to clamp the carrier relative to the slide when the clamp fasteners (80) are secured.
